Hi there,

Is there any update on when this issue will be fixed? I am also experiencing the same problem and it is creating more work which I was hoping to avoid by switching to quickbooks.

Many thanks,

Liz

Hello elizabethfaye 👋 I will have a look into this for you, could you clarify if the issue with opening the invoices affected your self employed customers or customers using the online product? Becky

Hi, my customers have reported that they cant 'view invoice' from the email I send from the Invoice page, but have to open or print the invoice. I keep getting requests to send the invoice in another format.
It appears this issue has been around since at least June 2019 - come on QB - I buy your product to make things easier and more simple, not more complicated!
