WHEN EMAILING REPORTS IN EXCEL FLICKS TO A P&L SINCE 2016 UPGRADE
SINCE UPGRADE TO 2016 now cannot directly email reports in excel from Reckon 2016.
Previously would:

e.g.:
trying to email

screen automatically reverts to a P&L.
And not even in the same date range as my report.
I don't want a P&L ......I want a report on an item.

can only send correct report by pdf.
........or export and download.
Please advise/address?

This happens to me as well, exactly as outlined by the first person. I open a report, select to email the excel version and instead it opens another report. For me it is random, it affects different reports each time, sometimes it won't happen for a while, then it happens a lot. I have tried closing everything in AH back to the home page, but that doesn't fix it. The only fix is to actually File, Close and then log back on. Very frustrating.
This happened to me again today. I decided I will try to remember to make a note here whenever it happens, so as to track frequency more accurately. Todays report: Payroll Totals report, however then tried other reports, same thing happened. Tried File Close, logged back on & then received error "microsoft excel could not be opened ... ". Tried closing all open excel sessions. Tried again, still get error. Closed AH and re-launched. Worked this time.
Happened again today. So it's been approx 1 month since last time, but was 2 weeks before that.
File Close solved it this time. Did NOT get the excel error that I got last time.
@Wendy Do you Verify your Company File regularly? I'd suggest running the Verify & then running the Rebuild x 3:
File (along top toolbar) > Utilities > Verify Data / Rebuild Data

There is a verify that happens automatically as part of the backup - which I run at minimum weekly, is that the same thing?
Would not usually expect to run a rebuild, are there any things to be aware of before running one?
Happened again today. So it's been approx 3 weeks since last time.
No time to close & reopen, so exported instead of emailing.
