Our IT department is telling us that if we want new computers that we will have to upgrade to QuickBooks 2020 Enterprise Edition. I am the financial applications manager, and it is my job to test products prior to updates. We are currently using a database and Intuit's SDK (Version 13) that automatically enters transactions into QuickBooks for us. We are simply using QuickBooks to produce simply financial statements for us. We DO NOT want to put passwords on upwards of 100 files. I have been reviewing the comments in this thread and I see that Intuit's seems to be "skirting" the request to NOT have passwords on the files. In the past - so long as we did not put ss#s or other sensitive data in the Company Information screen, we did not need to put a password. That is what we still want - no password. Why has this changed? Who do you think your are policing here? Why do you think that you know what is best for us? We do not want to move this to the cloud - we have these files on our secure network.
Bottomline, do you have ANY plans in the near future to remove this requirement? If not, we will search for an alternative to QuickBooks for producing our financial statements. Thank you.
Oh - and I would appreciate it if you can please respond to my specific question so I know you are not a robot responding with a canned answer...
