Quicken Books Q & A

Posted on January 1st, 2006 at 3:54 pm · Comments Off
Filed in: RSS Book Support   

Looking for additional support for my Quicken books? If so, please read this:

  • I do not provide support for any of my Quicken Books on this or any other Web site, or by e-mail, telephone, fax, or any other means. This means I won’t answer your questions about these books, no matter how or where you submit them.
  • My Quicken for Windows books are not appropriate for Macintosh users. The two versions of Quicken are very different. If you’re a Mac user, please do not buy my Quicken for Windows book. You will be sorely disappointed.
  • I am not currently planning to revise my Quicken for Macintosh book for the current version or a future version of Quicken.
  • If you’re looking for the worksheet files referred to in an earlier edition of the Quicken book, you can download them here. PDF reader software is required to open and use them. These files are copyrighted but freely distributable.

There are many reasons why I do not provide additional support for my Quicken books, but I will not list them here. I will say that it was a tough decision to make and that I’m sorry I can’t provide the same level of support for Quicken Official Guide readers as I do for readers of my other books.

Have a question about something in one of my QuickBooks Visual QuickStart Guides? Here’s how to get the answer:

  1. Browse through the comments at the end of this article to see if someone else has already asked your question. You might get the answer without even asking!
  2. If your question is not asked (or answered), use the Leave a Comment form at the bottom of this post to enter your question. (If the form does not appear, click the Comment link below to display it.)
  3. Check in once in a while to see if your question is answered. I usually answer questions within 48 hours, unless I’m out of town. To have responses to your question delivered to you automatically by e-mail, along with other Q & A comments submitted for this book, turn on the Notify Me check box at the bottom of the form when submitting your question (step 2). You can unsubscribe to the notification feature at any time.

Please do not use the Contact form to ask me questions. I won’t answer them. I want the questions and answers here, where everyone can see them, so I don’t have to answer the same questions over and over again.

Remember, I can only answer questions that clarify or correct information in my books. If the answer to your question is in my book, I will provide a page number reference to help you find it.

I cannot answer questions about Quicken for Macintosh or Windows. I no longer provide support for my Quicken books on this site.

Unfortunately, since my out-of-print books cover software that is no longer current, I probably don’t have it installed on my computer. I’ll do my best to answer your questions, but can’t make any promises.
