Microsoft Office Accounting Express 2009

Question

Sign in to vote

I have been using Microsoft Office Accounting Express 2009 almost since it first came out. I have not had any problems until now. It all seemed to be working fine until I tried to start a new fiscal year.

I went to the heading "Company" and clicked on "manage fiscal year". A box pops up that allows for a new fiscal year to be created. The beginning and ending dates of the new year are shown and the only boxes to click on are "OK" and "Cancel" .

When I click on OK another box pops up saying a "name must be specified". Name of what? Where? There is no place to specify a name.

The only thing different this year from when I started new fiscal years in the past, is that I recently upgraded to Windows 10.

I am unable to do anything until a new fiscal year is opened. Please help!!!

Hi,

After searching online, I found this case, it indicates that Office Accounting 2009 is not compatible with Windows 10. It is not a guarantee to work. So, it is not suggested to run Office Accounting 2009 on Windows 10 machine.

Since Microsoft Office Accounting 2009 is not a Windows 10 feature and it is a separate program, if you need further assistance, you need to post your question in the appropriate forum @ http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office

Thank you for your assistance. The good news is that I was able to open my data on an old computer of mine. Then I was able to start a new fiscal year, save everything, and then reopen it on my new computer. The new fiscal year opened and everything seems fine so far. Fingers crossed.
