    Same thing happens to me. I just assumed it's a bug. Doesn't happen all the time mind you. And not in every file. It's frustrating

    Morning @lou

    Is there a specific error message that appears after you attempt to access the Employee Centre?

    Are you attempting to access it from the icon bar at the top or the Employees menu?

    Is there a difference at all in either option?


    Do you have a recent backup of your file? If so, does the same issue occur on that as well?

    Hi rav

    a window pops up error has occurred and program will close

    it does it from either option icon or menu

    I’ve tried different browser

    I haven’t tried from a back up copy but it was doing it before I backed it up

    i’m out of office now but I can take a pic of the message that comes up later today

    If you can perform the verify you can open the qbwin log file in word pad which may provide some insight into the corruption issue that is causing the problem. The reckon tech staff are not every good at dealing with these issues so my considered recommendation is to reach out to one of the Accredited Partners like I.

    We are helping people like you to solve these problems with a minimum of down time in the most efficient way possible.

    Often times tech support will tell you to restore a backup when it isnt necessary and may even put you back even further.

    Call me any time

    The Reckon Technical Support Team is here to assist with issues.

    Restoring a backup is only one of the options that would be provided.

    As to whether it is necessary will depend on the nature of the problem.

    You need to do a verify and rebuild of your file

    Call me if it gets too hard

    I can interrogate the log file and isolate the error

    My dad would be happy to hear that. It was a interesting issue. Im not even sure what we did to fix it after all our tinkering.

    Did I mention backups?

    Hosted is NOT backed up so you must back up after every session. And it's a good idea to copy those backups to external storage.

    Have a wonderful day everyone 😊
