Hi,

These steps are a waste of time and risky based on MS Licensing.  

The problem has nothing to do with the installation of Office OR QB, it is 100% QB integration.  

I am somewhat disappointed in the responses from Intuit regarding a time frame for resolution.  

MS is kind of a big company as is Intuit.  To not have a coordination or reasonable answer is disconcerting with regard to the focus of Intuit and QB.  Functions and features are extremely important but limiting integration points to Older versions of a product is unacceptable.  I went from Office 2010 to Office 2021 with the expectation of a seamless connection to Excel....sadly not the case.  I do understand there is a time period to ensure that integration point is validated and tested, but to get a Scripted answer to solve a problem that is a waste of time and WILL not work based on compatibility issues is NOT right!!!  Also, a more definitive answer than 'We don't know' makes me wonder if there is any kind of outline or roadmap to the development, enhancement and maintenance of the product.
