Hi there, kelper62.

 

The error usually shows up if the installed Edition of Adobe Acrobat isn’t compatible with QuickBooks Desktop. There are also times that it happens if the DLL files of the two software are conflicting. 

 

There are a couple of steps that we recommend that can resolve this type of error.

 

First, make sure that your QuickBooks is on the latest maintenance release. Use this article as a guide: Update QuickBooks Desktop to the Latest Release.


Second, use the QuickBooks Tool Hub to fix minor program and file issues. Here's how: 

 

  1. Download the most recent version (1.5.0.0) of the QuickBooks Tool Hub.
  2. Open the file you downloaded (QuickBooksToolHub.exe). You can look it up in your Downloads folder or in the location you selected when you downloaded it.
  3. Follow the on-screen steps to install and agree to the terms and conditions.
  4. Double-click the icon on your Windows desktop to open the tool hub.
  5. Once opened, look for Program Problems, then select Quick Fix my Program.
  6. Start QuickBooks Desktop and open your data file.

If you're still getting the same result, you can also repair or reinstall the Adobe app. However, we recommend contacting  your IT professional or Microsoft for help.

After we installed QuickBooks Pro Plus 2023 the "DDE Server Window:  Windows - Entry Point Not Found" errors started.  I cannot use my keyboard for anything within Adobe without the Entry Point error windows opening (several - not just one that I need to click through to continue).  When I only have Adobe Acrobat Pro open, I don't receive any errors.  It is only when QuickBooks Desktop and Adobe are open at the same time. I tried using QuickBooks Tool Hub and program problems "Quick fix my program", "QuickBooks program diagnostic tool" and "QuickBooks Print & PDF Repair Tool"; it does not solve the issues.

Me Too. If I try to edit a PDF, page down, or see the remaining pages of a PDF in the file preview. Won't work with Quickbooks open.
