    NEW STARSHIP FREIGHT FROM SAGE SOFTWARE
      Coming soon!

    SAGE Software will soon be introducing an additional Sage MAS 90 and 200 shipping module, StarShip Freight, for packing and shipping larger shipments.

    The existing StarShip module will be referred to as StarShip Parcel, and continue to be used for shipping packages using carriers such as UPSŪ and Federal Express.

    USING QUICKBOOKS SOFTWARE
      Fix Problems, Cash Flows, and Productivity

    Do you KNOW just how much business management capability is available to you within QuickBooks??

    With the software, you can identify problem areas in your business and fix them! You can also find ways to improve cash flows and improve your own productivity!

    QUICKBOOKS 2006 or 2007 LOADING SLOWLY???
      Change the configuration in the Desktop View

    It's a good idea to change the configuration in the Desktop View section of the Edit | Preferences dialog so that the option labeled Don't Save the Desktop is selected OR close all your reports, windows, etc. then open just the window you want to see; Home Center or Customer Center, etc. then select Save the Current Desktop in the Desktop View section of the Edit | Preferences dialog. It takes more time for QuickBooks to load a saved desktop than it takes to click a few times to open the windows you need to work with after you're logged on.

    **2008** As we go to press the ProAdvisor advanced copy of QuickBooks 2008 has hit my desk! Watch for more info in the next issue!!

    SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER VERIFICATION
      (SSNVS) for short!

    SSNVS is used to verify that a current employee's or new hire's name and SSN match. SSNVS can also be used to verify entire payrolls. The enhancements took effect AUGUST 25th!

    SSNVS has supplanted the SSA's older Name/SSN matching service - the magnetic-media-based Employee Verification Service. The SSA has announced that EVS will be put to sleep in October!

    TIP'S & TRICKS
      Access Your PC Remotely

    Thanks to Byron Leonard of Software Blueprint for this tip!

    Do-It-Yourself access to any PC you own. This could not be easier ... simply setup a FREE account ... install the software on your PC and then you can interact with your PC's desktop from anywhere you have an Internet connection.

    The free version does not include file transfer or printing to the controlling computer. However, you probably don't need to transfer files since you can both view and edit any file on your remote computer. If you need to print a file you can always email it to yourself at one of the countless free email websites and then print it locally.
