FIX the Trial Balance Setup link! Updates killed the link ~ 1~2 weeks ago (from 3/11/23).
Some of us who use the Business programs use the Trial Balance import feature.
Very fewer of us still use "ATB for Windows" but it still works and makes life easier! Some people may export their accounting records as an spread
Right now, as o 3/11/23, the current updates Killed the automatic update link!
It used to work literally ~2~3 weeks ago in late Feb/early March.
Now, when you enter the client's corp return, an error pops up, something like.. "Error: unable to update link to file."
It then freezes Proseries so that you must use Ctrl+Alt+Del to shut down Proseries. Then go to ATB, backup the client's file, remove it then reenter Proseries and then go to.. Import.. UNCHECK "Automatically update client when import file changes."
So now we must finalize the ATB client file and now must MANUALLY REMOVE the links in the Proseries client's business return and MANUALLY RE-ENTER everything from scratch! THIS SHOULD BE AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS BY DOING THINGS MANUALLY!!
WTH happened, Proseries?!
Tell your software engineers to fix that darn automatic update link. It's a simple 'link' and has NO calculation involved as the software updates the returns' information when the accounting information is updated. That's it!
