Quickbooks for Mac 2010 Time Activity Bug

I’ve run into a bug which is discussed here.  In summary, after entering a single time activity, hitting “next” or “previous” causes problems.

With the following Applescript, when you’re finished entering a time activity, you hit ctrl+n (or whatever shortcut you choose), and voilà:

  • you have a saved entry
  • a new blank form
  • you can scroll to previous and next to your heart’s content!

That is – it works the way it’s supposed to, lol

Here’s the code:

tell application “System Events”

tell process “QuickBooks 2010″

click button “OK” of window “Enter Single Activity”

perform action “AXPress” of menu item “Enter Single Activity” of menu 1 of menu item “Time Tracking” of menu 1 of menu bar item “Employees” of menu bar 1

end tell

end tell

Here’s what you do:

  1. Paste the above script into AppleScript Editor
  2. Save the file (as a script) to: /[your user folder here]/Library/Scripts/Applications/QuickBooks/Save time activity and create new.scpt
  3. If you have an script menu app (FastScripts is the absolute best!), you can assign a shortcut to it, like ctrl+n)
