    Hello there, cstrader. 

     

    It's possible that these attachments were accidentally detached or removed. Usually, attached files are located in the Attach folder which is in the same location as your company file. If you can't find them there, you can locate these attachments where it was originally saved and manually attach or scan them.

      QB 2021 desktop. Went to Company File. There is no attachment folder. Why are attachments not immediately available when clicking on the attachment associated with the specific client? I had a service contract with AB but cancelled it since no one at even Level 2 knew the answer. If QB wants to save face call me in California at 415 382 6170

        On the subject of missing attachments and with an Intuit service contract, I am pissed for the lack of service which has dragged out over 2-3 months as you will note in the case numbers..... which I have recorded.

         

        After talking to several at level 1, I found them over several months to be clueless. Talked one to Level 2 once. He too did not have a response stating he would call me back on a second live share session. Two months passed. No support callback and to boot I discovered later he simply closed the case.

         

        Listen up. A class action lawsuit is in the works by a firm in New Orleans. 

         

        In the meantime, fully aware now there has been since 2019 a solution to the missing attachments, I insist and require a call and a live on the phone sharing session. I do not want the instructions. Too complicated.

        I have spent many hours and do not intend to follow the instructions. 

         

        Remember I have a service contract!!

          Folks. Don't hold your breath. Regarding attachment I see only copy and paste from the "team". The disappearing attachments has not been resolved. Not even level 2 offered up an answer.

           

          The attachment folder is not in the company file.... and I did not direct the attachment to go elsewhere. 

           

          Dealt with only Intuit robots and levels 1 and 2.  I cancelled the support contact.

            Did you follow the link above? Did it not work? I have followed the link above and it fixed the issue of the scanned bills not being attached to the bills in QB Desktop.
