QuickBooks and QuickBooks Pro 2001 R3 Update
-------------------------------------------------------------------
This maintenance release makes several important improvements
to your version of QuickBooks or QuickBooks Pro. In addition,
it includes all other updates that Intuit has provided for your
software since its original release.
NOTE: If QuickBooks has already downloaded this update from the
Internet, you do not need to install it again.
To check, start QuickBooks, then hold down the Control
("CTRL") key and press the "1" key (above the letter "Q",
not on the keypad). If the release number in the Product
line includes R3, you do not need to update again.
*How installing this maintenance release affects your data file*
Installing this maintenance release does not directly affect your
company data file.
However, if you need to reinstall QuickBooks at a later date, you
may not be able to open your company file until you also reinstall
this maintenance release.
*If you have several copies of QuickBooks or QuickBooks Pro*
If your company uses several copies of QuickBooks, be sure to
update them all. Until you do, the copies of QuickBooks that are
not updated will not be able to open your company file(s).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
To update your copy of QuickBooks or QuickBooks Pro:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Back up your company file(s). For instructions on backing up
your data, search the Help Index under "backups".
2. Shut down all open programs, including QuickBooks and any virus-
protection programs you may have (as these can interfere with
the Installer).
3. Place the update floppy disk or CD-ROM in your drive.
4. Click the "Start" button, then choose "Run".
5. Type the letter of your floppy disk or CD-ROM drive, then:
:\setup.exe
(for example, "d:\setup.exe").
6. The update should automatically locate QuickBooks on your hard
drive. If it does not, it will prompt you to navigate to your
QuickBooks directory.
7. Follow the instructions on your screen.
8. When the update is complete, start QuickBooks, then open your
company data file so that QuickBooks can update your data.
Updating your version of Microsoft Internet Explorer:
If you are using an older version of Internet Explorer, we
recommend that you update to version 5.5 SP1 or later.
You should never install any beta version of Internet Explorer as
QuickBooks may not work with it correctly.
You can download the latest version of Internet Explorer from

r8, and QuickBooks 2000 r7.

you attempt to made manual adjustments to T4s in the current
payroll year.

installed.
When using multicurrency in QuickBooks Pro:

multicurrency in a large company file can take some time. An hour
glass now appears while QuickBooks converts your information.
