The comments from Michelle above are helpful , particularly for those handling multiple Ship To transactions.

Following my earlier complaint I found a solution that seems to work for our low level of transactions of this type.

First, set up the invoice as normal with the unwanted details in the Ship To box.

Next, delete the box contents, then paste in the correct Ship To details from another source, say copied off the customer order for example.

This seems to print ok without any unwanted info popping up in the box.

I have tried inserting asterisks and commas etc as Claire suggested but that does not work for me . It would appear that different systems require different solutions.

However, there is still a need for QuickBooks to come up with a software solution which surely cannot be that difficult!
