Very Odd Outlook/Quickbooks Email Issue

Let's make sure to fix this odd behavior that you're experiencing when sending an email, ChemTek.

Normally, this happens if you're not using the updated version of your Outlook. You'll want to make sure that you're using a compatible one on your QuickBooks Desktop. Please check the information provided below:

• System requirements for QuickBooks 2020 and Enterprise Solutions 20.0
• System requirements for QuickBooks 2019 and Enterprise Solutions 19.0
• System requirements for QuickBooks 2018 and Enterprise Solutions 18.0
  
  

Also, ensure to update QuickBooks to the latest release. However, if you're using a compatible Outlook version and yet you're still getting the same issue, you can run repair Outlook to double-check if this is caused by the application that you're using.

Maria,

First, thanks for the reply.

We are using Enterprise 20.0 with the latest version of Outlook desktop client and Windows 10.

All software (Quickbooks, Outlook and Windows) all have the latest updates installed, etc.

As I mentioned in the original email... this functionality has worked on this machine for many many years... and just stopped working back in April.

The configuration between Quickbooks/Outlook appears to be working fine.

You click on the Email button... it immediately pops up the Outlook email dialogue box... and if you were to just click Send... all good.

It's only if you edit the email in that Outlook pop up box... make any changes like any other standard email (as we always did)... you click Send... and what's actually sent is the original email... NOT what you edited.

If there are any other details I can provide to help troubleshoot this... please let me know ASAP.

Thanks!!!

Hi Chem Tek, I have recently found my system doing the same think with the email. Support is not much help, did you ever figure out what the issue was/is. I have tried everything you could imagine
