Multi Monitor Forms Down?

When I click on the pop out forms from the detail screen to load Forms view on my other monitor - I keep receiving an error crash report when I move from form to form.  When just using 1 screen going from detail to forms without popping it out, that works. Its the pop out screen where it appears to be broken. Multiple users in the office all are experiencing this issue.

Lacerte has been having some MAJOR issues across the entire country today.  it looks like they just pushed an update, hopefully that is the solution

I am having this same issue as well. It started early this morning for me. I closed the program and tried to re-open it. That's when I started getting the "can't validate your credentials" message. I called Lacerte and reported both problems. I can log in again, but am still getting the crash report when I try to move from screen to screen. 

I figured out a work-around. If you have the forms view up on your original monitor, you can then move around in the forms view on your second monitor without getting the crash report.

Update to my answer. I can move from form to form on my original monitor. I still get the crash report on my second monitor most of the time. Looks like I'll be operating on one monitor until they push out an update to fix this.

The same thing is happening to us today.  Hope they fix it soon!

We are having this issue as well.  Not able to use this feature at all right now!

6  pm Central and this is still a problem.  No form pop out and error messages galore.  The split screen kind of works but also occasionally crashed/freezes the program.  We have tried every single update/display reset/reload/reinstall/reboot/repair that we can think of with no fix.

When we called about the problems at 10 am this morning, we were told to expect it to be fixed in about 1 hour.

It would be FANTASTIC if Lacerte would use the banner notification function to let people know what the progress of the fix is, which would avoid (1) our staff wasting time tryin to fix it or waiting on hold with Lacerte and (2) free up Lacerte customer service resources for all the the people having to answer these questions all day.  

If anyone has sucess, please share.

I called them about 2 hours ago after the most recent update came out and didn't fix the problem. They acknowledged that they are still working on it. At this point, the only suggestion I have is to use the forms view on your original monitor, not the pop-out forms monitor. It works fine for me on my original monitor. It's a pain because I can't look at the detail and the forms at the same time, but at least the program isn't throwing error messages and freezing.

I suspect that the only way we'll know that it's been fixed is to keep checking for updates and installing it when it's pushed out.

We are having the same issue.  This is a huge problem...  This is the time of year I use this feature more than any other time.

I called this morning (3/25 Sat 10 am Central) to check in on the progress.  The service rep looked up the issue and let me know (1) it is a know as a reported problem and (2) that the next scheduled update is set for March 30th.   In asking for clarification to that response, he confirmed there was nothing to indicate that they were prioritizing this as a problem that needed a resolution ASAP.  This was in contrast to the message the day before that they expected to fix it quickly.

I asked him to pass along to the tech/resolution team that we consider this a critical problem.  (If this forum is monitored **bleep** is also making the program unstable.  Although split screen view is accessible, it also seems to freeze up and lag.  The pop-out view definitely locks the program up and requires a close/reopen to get back to work.

"bleep" is apparently an edit if the response is too long?    Insert - if anyone from Lacerte Customers service is monitoring this thread, please also note this feedback.

Are you kidding me?!?! March 30 when they do their regular update? The whole reason I made this post was to help bring attention to another broken item to their attention with the sign in and e-signatures issues yesterday since they did a random update. Intuit is really enjoying playing with our emotions.

I saw others with *BLEEP* - never knew what it meant, but lately I want to use *BLEEP* words to describe Intuit

Definitely still happening today (Sunday, March 26).

Another classic example of Intuit's philosophy of if it ain't broke, let's tinker with to screw 'it' up at the worst possible time.   I guess asking for a refund or "FREE" software to compensate for the fact that what we paid for isn't work is futile ? /S
