Before You Call

.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
When you call Technical Support with a problem, our technician will lead you through steps to identify and solve the problem. You can do some of this exploration yourself to eliminate possibilities that do not require technical support assistance.
  • Always back up your data.
  • Just restarting your computer can solve many problems.
  • Try the procedure again to see if you can duplicate the problem.
  • Start at the beginning. Examine entry screens where you filled in fields to be sure you are asking the program for what you want. For example, if a report does not include the information you expected, be sure you have typed the correct date range.
  • Try a related procedure. For example, if you can't print from the product, try printing from another program. If nothing prints, you know the problem is related to the printer, not the software. Check the printer connections and make sure the printer is turned on.
  • If the software used to work, think about what has changed with your computer. Have any new programs been installed lately?
