    I have same issue. See previous comment above (August 2017)

    Occurs when sending ANY PDF from RA. EG Invoices, estimates, statements

    Environments :

    2 different computers

    Windows 10 Professional, MS Office 2019 Professional

    Windows 11 Professional, MS Office 2021 Professional

    Couple of format & clean install Windows over the years

    Originally occurred with RA2017 Premier

    Continued with RA 2018, 2019, 2021. Did not use RA2020

    From my earlier comment above, this workaround still works :

    -------------------------------------

    So RA appears to remain "locked" into Outlook, even after emails are sent

    Closing Outlook first releases the "lock"

    Then RA closes normally

    ------------------------------------

    It is a nuisance, I just tolerated for last few years 😕. Not wasting any more time on it

    you are correct, If I close Outlook first, then Reckon Accounts, it does not crash, but the task does not end and as a result, I can't start Outlook thereafter until I end the task with taskmanager

    Looked more into this issue

    Note - "Quickbooks Database Manager Service" is running even when RA is closed

    If Outlook will not open :

    Task Manager - End Task "Quickbooks Database Manager Service"

    ( Or stop it in Computer Management - Services )

    Then open Outlook immediately

    "Quickbooks Database Manager Service" restarts itself after a few seconds, even if not using RA

    So perhaps "Quickbooks Database Manager Service" is causing the issue ??????

    Should not be necessary, just another possible workaround ......

    yes you are correct, and also as you said, the issue started in 2017 and has not been fixed in 5 years of new versions

    I think I contacted support before and I was told that Accounts Hosted maybe a better solution

    I will contact them again when I have an hour or two to spare
