Quickbooks Email No Longer Working



Emailing invoices or any document from Quickbooks was working fine until recently. I actually do not know very well what changes I may are making resulting in a problem. Whenever I you will need to email from the software, I have the error message. They feature solutions that I tried to no avail. I contacted Quickbooks tech support plus they worked through solutions which did not work either. They concluded it is something within my setup outside of Quickbooks. I'm stuck. We have 5 computers in the network with the same database plus the others all work. I am using QB 2006. I also have Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Pro installed which works fine. My computer is using Win XP with latest service pack.

Here is the range of solutions that Quickbooks Help suggests. Used to do them all.

If you are using QuickBooks in multi-user mode, you only need certainly to exit QuickBooks by yourself computer. Other users may continue to work.
