Question

Excel exports creating empty workbooks

I recently changed from desktop Office products to 365 and now the first time that you run an Quickbooks update two extra workbooks get opened.  You cannot close them and they stay open until the user logs off.  You can re-run the update after that and no more than the original two workbooks.

 

I have been google researching this for about a month and have found no solutions.  Any help would be appreciated.

Some more googling and I saw a suggestion that QB only works with 32 bit Office 365.  Is this true?

I appreciate all the time you spent contacting us, @WK1.

 

Let me help you successfully update QuickBooks without the program opening extra workbooks. Before doing so, I'll need some information about the concern. Can you please confirm the location of the company file? Is it installed locally or through a server? Also, what version do you have? Any details will help me resolve this problem.

 

Please note that every QuickBooks Desktop version follows specific system requirements. Each will require you to have a particular Microsoft Office version installed on the computer where Quickbooks is. It can be Office on 32 and 64-bit. However, you can still use Office 365, but it's only supported when installed locally and not the web version.

 

See the following links to check if the Office version is compatible with your QuickBooks version:
