Can't change an employee address

I need to change an employee's address but Quickbooks won't let me.  I'm unable to even click on the Address & Contact tab.  Even logged in as the administrator, I can't open this tab.  What's going on?  Chat has been unavailable for the last few days.  So frustrating!

I was able to finally change it but had to use the keyboard shortcut keys to open the address & contact tab.  So weird!

I've never heard of an issue clicking on the various tabs on an employee record in QB Enterprise. There's no case where this is restricted - that I know of.

 

You mean these tabs, right?

Yes, those tabs.  I can click on any of the tabs other than the Address & Contact and the Personal one.  It opens on the Personal but once I click on another tab I can't go back.  I've never had an issue before but that last two days.  Figured out a work around by using keyboard shortcuts but curious as to why there's an issue.

We just noticed today we are having the same issue.  The ALT+D shortcut works, but we also cannot click on the tab.  That's the reason I jumped on here.  We are running Enterprise Desktop 21 R8_67.  The database is stored on our local server (Server 2012), and the desktop clients are all running the latest version of Windows 10.  This is occurring on any computer.  I even ran a services stop/start and also rebooted the server.

What was the keyboard short cut you used?  Thanks I'm having the same problem.

Me too.  I just noticed today and need to change some information on an employee.  What is going on again with QB?

ALT+d.  Anytime you see a line under a letter (such as the "e" in letter) in a description, it means you can hold down ALT & press that letter for the shortcut.  This is true in most Windows-based programs.

 

Interesting information, my coworker can now click on it again.  I've logged back out and back in and still cannot click on it.
