Answer

This issue arises because the Windows Registry has a different version number for QuickBooks (21.0) than being used by the Accountant’s Data Transfer Tools (21.1)

 

Solution:

Care:  This step requires you to enter the Windows Registry.  Changes to the Registry effect the behaviour of your computer.  Incorrect changes may prevent your computer from running properly.  If you are not confident in making changes to your Registry please refer to your IT professional.

 

Before proceeding Reckon suggests you create a backup of Registry.

1.    Open the Registry Editor:

a.    Windows 7 & Vista: Start button > type regedit into the search box > Enter;

b.    Windows XP: Start button > Run > type regedt32 > Enter;

                                          i.    If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

2.    On the top menu line, click on File >Export

3.    Select a location to save the file and in the File Name box enter a name;

4.    In the Export Range section, click on All;

5.    Click Save.

 

Adjust the QuickBooks version reference in the Registry:

1.    Open the Registry Editor by clicking Start > Run and type regedit then click OK.

8.    Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Intuit\ QuickBooksRegistration.

32 bit operating systems:  omit Wow6432Node from the path.
