I am in now, but note that it probably took at least two minutes, with each step along the way taking a lot longer than normal, before moving on. Hopefully, if you let it run its own course, you will connect.

Hi all,
While some users may be able to connect to Hosted we're not out of the woods just yet. We're continuing to work on this and we should have access up and running for everyone very soon.

Not happy at all! Reckon messed with their print function and we can't print 2 copies of even though the templates are set up that way. Used to be able to choose which printer and now we can only print to the computers default printer. Sent an online support request on 17/1/18 and still got no reply. I think 'WRECKIN' would be a more appropriate way to spell 'RECKON'. Please get your act into gear.

I agree Grant,
I print multiple versions of forms using different templates to serve different purposes within our business - now I have to use my printer's system dialogue to achieve the same ... so once again it's a plus minus zero :(

P.S. The copy and paste function was always there - but Mac users needed to use the control key instead of their usual command key. Just sounds like it was a fluke, and the developers finally came across it. Personally, I found it yonks ago by accident, however, I previously didn't have to worry about the clipboard popping up ... the upgrade before this last one wrecked that for me...

Grant. These were some findings of mine following some extensive testing two weeks ago. You might find something here which could help you with your problem:
John L G
Hi RAV. After extensive testing, I can report the following issues to you, regarding printing something like an invoice, when using Internet Explorer
1. Whilst one can change the Reckon Printer options so that the page size changes from Letter to A4, and save it, this only remains operative whilst the current session is open. Exit out of Hosted or get kicked out of Hosted and one has to go through the whole process once again.
2. On one's computer, whichever printer is set as the default, this becomes the only printer available to Hosted during the current session.
3. If one changes the computer's default printer whilst a Hosted session is open, one can send a test page to the changed printer when making the change, and it works. However, Hosted has hijacked the original printer which was operative at the time the session opened, and no amount of trying, will allow another default printer to be accessed by Hosted, during that same session.
4. CTRL P brings up a dialogue box which allows printing to any of the system's printer, but, all that this does is to do a screen shot rather a print of the invoice. This was the same before the upgrade, so there is no change here.
The tests were done on a Windows 10 machine with 16GB of RAM and using Internet Explorer as the browser of choice.
But wait, there is more and finally some GOOD NEWS. I decided to try Google Chrome to see what the story was there and, lo and behold, most of the same issues are no longer issues within Chrome. Pressing the print button acts the same as in IE, but, this time around there is finally a printer dialogue box which allows one to select whatever printer is available, including my own PDF program (in this case Microsoft Print to PDF). The only issue which still remains, from what I can see, is that changing the printer properties to select A4 instead of Letter, still only remains operative during the current session. However, as that is easy to fix, I might finally be able to go back to Chrome again. The only lingering other issue is the fact that some desktop version shortcuts still revert to Windows shortcuts when using Chrome, but I might be happy to live with that, if everything else works OK.John L G

Thanks John, that's helpful. Chrome does work better and is reasonably easy to manually adjust the print quantity but automatically printing the number of pages as set in the template settings would be better for simplicity and consistency. It's a shame that basic functions we'd expect in reckon need to rely on browser functions that are subject to change when google & windows etc update their browsers.

If you are currently attempting to log into Hosted or have just logged in, you will notice slowness/performance issues due to the influx of login attempts currently.
We're still continuing to work on the issue itself as well so we're not quite there yet.

I got back in, did a backup and am now working on the desktop version until things get sorted.
Glad to have the desktop version as a backup, but learned the lesson to backup up data file at the end of each day. That's online software for you!

Working on a desktop version only helps one person IF they can get a copy of the data file off line, some of the data files are so large and the connection so slow it just doesn't work.
RECKON, lets hope you have a team of people who will work on this never happening again. No other accounting software program I've used is offline as often as yours. You really need to sort things out otherwise it won't only be the accountants version you'll need to sell!!

Mine is still coming up with errors and cannot login. Thank god we are moving to MYOB Advanced which is never down with issues like Reckon. Cannot wait to ditch Reckon for good! its so 1990s
-

I wouldn't touch MYOB - it is based on old technology as well. Would move to Xero if their inventory module wasn't an addon. I may move to QuickBooks. Will do a trial in the next couple of months to see whether it meets my requirements. I have been lazy and stayed with Reckon. Their Cloud version is not what I expected. I had hoped for something that I could use as a webpage. I would love an app on my phone /ipad as well. I don't know if it will ever get there.

Seriously this is a joke!! Updates should not be done during the day and if there going to be done test them on a seperate server. Why the hell do we pay all this money for this software if we are not using it .....very frustrating that RECKON is going backwards. I would definitely not recommend it to anyone i know. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!

So, what's the problem then, why is the system constantly down? How can we do any work with this happening everyday??? It's a very unstable system for it to be continually going down, seems to be atleast twice a week.
