I hope you're doing well today.
You're correct with your thinking. This usually signals an issue with Microsoft Office integration, needing updates, repairs, compatibility checks, or adjustments to Windows User Account Control (UAC) settings, often resolved by reinstalling Office/QuickBooks, or ensuring Excel is properly installed locally, not just networked
Let's try some troubleshooting steps to get this issue resolved.
Step 1: Update QuickBooks Desktop
Ensure that you're using the latest update of QuickBooks. Try to export again after updating.
Step 2: Check QuickBooks system requirements
Different versions of QuickBooks Desktop works with a particular version of Microsoft Office. If your Microsoft Office isn't compatible, then you'll need to upgrade.
Step 3: Repair Microsoft Office
Go through the instructions on how to repair your Microsoft Office.
If you're still not able to export your information, move to step 4.
Step 4: Toggle Windows User Account Controls (UAC)
Toggle back and forth between off and on your Windows UAC settings. This will eliminate something from blocking the feature.
If this doesn't work, let's move to step 5.
Step 5: Reinstall QuickBooks
Uninstall and reinstall QuickBooks Desktop. If you still can't export a report, uninstall and reinstall Excel.
If none of these steps work for you, I recommend reaching out to our Technical Support Team. This way, one of our agents can review your account in a secure environment and investigate this matter further.
Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I'm happy to lend a hand. Take care!
Thank you so much; I'll take a look at those suggestions
Well I did the repair on my Microsoft applications as instructed chose the "online repair". I have Activation Required messages in all my office applications; and it will be disabled on 1/28/2026. However my Quickbooks send email to Outlook and my Reports exported to Excel works now. How about that?
