Entering credit card purchases

It could be file corruption. I'd try Rebuilding the file from the File | Utilities menu and see if that resolves the issue.

Hello, attorneyrona. I can help fix the pop-up message you received while attempting to record the credit card purchases.

I agree with BigRedConsulting that the file may be corrupted. To verify, let's run the Verify and Rebuild Utility tools to get this fixed. It's a good start when it comes to fixing data-related issues.

To run the Verify Data utility:  

1. Click the File menu.
2. Select Utilities. 
3. Click Verify Data. 
4. If there are issues found, you’ll be prompted to Rebuild Now. 

Here are the steps on how to run the Rebuild utility:  

1. Click the File menu. 
2. Select Utilities. 
3. Choose Rebuild Data. 
4. Click Ok on Rebuild has completed.

If the issue persists, run the Quick Fix my Program from the QuickBooks Tool Hub. Here's an article for the detailed steps: Connection has been lost.

I'm using QB online and need to enter credit card purchases. When I enter them in as expenses, Credit card credit, they show up as payments not charges. How do I enter the charges?
