Thank you for providing detailed information and a screenshot, @ailoilo.

 

Since this behavior in QuickBooks is unusual and hasn't happened before, you can use the Verify tool to check your company file for errors or data corruption. Here’s how to do it:

 

  1. Navigate to Window and select Close All.
  2. Go to File, then choose Utilities.
  3. Click on Verify Data.

If you receive a prompt indicating that data damage has been found in your file, proceed to rebuild your data to fix any identified errors or damage.

 

If QuickBooks detects no problems with your data, the issue may be related to the software. In that case, consider using the QuickBooks Tool Hub, which will quickly repair your program. To do this, you can follow the steps outlined in this article: Fix common problems and errors with the QuickBooks Desktop Tool Hub.

 

Let us know if you have any additional questions.

I appreciate you taking the necessary steps to help resolve the issue, Ailoilo.
 
In QuickBooks Desktop, the Combine forms to a recipient in one email feature allows you to send these entries without losing the email information. This unusual behavior may require the program to be updated to help rectify issues within the system.

With that, it's best to secure a backup copy of your company file and ensure your QuickBooks Desktop is on its latest release. This way, you'll always have its recent features and fixes to your account.
 
However, if the issue still persists, I recommend contacting our Live Experts Team to help review your account and provide further guidance so you can send these forms in one.
 
  1. In your QBDT account, go to Help and select QuickBooks Help/Contact Us.
  2. Choose Contact Us and enter a brief description of your issue. Then, Continue.
  3. Sign in to your Intuit account, choose Continue, and then Continue with my account.
  4. We'll email you a single-use code. Enter your code and select Continue.
  5. Then, select to Chat with usor Have us call you.
 
We’ll keep this thread available anytime you require further assistance.

I am also having this issue, must be an error in a recent update, I've ran the tool hub several times recently, as I'm also having issues with the program crashing anytime i run payroll.  It hasn't solved any of my issues.

 

Also,  ever since the combine forms option was added, about every 3rd send, it errors out and crashes the program, the only  way to sent the emails is to switch if from outlook, to web mail in the preferences.
