Join nowIn an older version it only occurred when I added a new name to an invoice, but for 2019 Desktop QB it happens with EVERY invoice when I've changed nothing. I would like to stop this message.
I saw this also happened in the 2018 version, but the response of going to the Edit menu > Preference > General - doesn't work for this version. Please help, because it's annoying and time consuming.
this is the message I get:
Name Information changed (when it has not)
You've changed some information associated with this name. Would you like these changes to be permanently stored with the name?

It may be data damage, as AlcaeusF suspects. Try editing the customer from the customer center (maybe add something to the notes or something) and then save it. That may rewrite it and fix the problem.
Be aware though that "name" also includes some aspects of the payment information like the terms. So if you are changing the terms for instance it will see that and ask if it is one time or permanent. If you say permanent it writes the change back to the customer record (where you can edit it as described above).
