HELP - Reached max. number of entries in Quickbook
Hi all,
I have a question regarding limitations in Quickbook Pro: We are a small e-business and have reached the max. number of customers and vendors in Quickbooks which is 14.500.
We tried to Archive and condense our database but that eliminates only a few entries. After talking to Intuit support, we were told that you can only archive and condense entries of customers if the product that is associated with this customer is not active anymore. So Intuit told us that the only solution is the Intuit Enterprise solution which starts at $2.500. Somehow I can not believe that quickbooks pro would not allow me to archive and condense a database according to customers only and not if the purchase of the customer was associated with a product that still exists in our store.
Does anybody has experience with this and might even know of a solution within Quickbooks? Or anybody knows of a product that we could use as an alternative?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks and best regards,
Joerg
Quickbooks limitation is so arbitrary
This is a constant frustration with clients as the reord number limitation seems so arbitrary. It seems logical that the volume of your data should be limited by the hardware or storage capacity, not the front end. That being said, Microsoft has made the new SQL Express Edition free for 2005 which would give you a lot more backend database power, in addition to a database that many reporting tools, programmers etc... are familiar with.
I would go with a program that is going to grow with you for a long time to come so you don't find yourself in this position again a year from now.
Good Luck!

Quickbooks Enterprise still locks down accessibility to the back end database
Hi there,
Just thought I'd share that I am working with several customers who are switching from Quickbooks Enterprise to VisionCore and one of the major complaints is that even though there is a true relational database on the back end, it is not exposed to allow you to integrate other sources of data outside of Quickbooks. Basically, everything needs to be added/modified/deleted through the Quickbooks front end, which is very limiting.
For example, one division of the Department of Homeland Security that we're working with is switching because they want to populate their orders through a Java front end, which they can't do efficiently or in real time through QB.
