Why does quickbooks need to access "my pictures"

after a recent update, my docs were offline (not connected to the install- they had been off for a while) but the update failed with error 1606 could not access locatoion ...\my documents\my pictures

why does quickbooks NEED my pictures?

Maybe it places the logo/graphics files in my pics?

(My company logo is in a BMP file which is what it may be looking for.)

Picture ID to verify you are the license holder?

Just a guess. Did you modify a template for an invoice/purchase order/sales reciept etc. to include a logo? Where is the file that contains the logo?

My inclination is your logo. On my quickbooks invoice there is a logo, a logo in BMP format that quickbooks plugs into the final printerd invoice.

Maybe when you attached the logo it resided in your my pictures file?

I would asume everytime I print that invoice Quickbooks is accessing that .bmp file.

If this is the case here, then look for a folder named "company name- Images" buried in the My Pictures folder.

Not necessarily. Mine are in another folder elsewhere on the computer.

Oh, okay. I thought mine was the default location. I don't remember being given the option to change locations.

Is your folder name the same, i.e. "company name-Images" like mine or did you change that too?

It's been a few years since I did it but i seem to recall the logo file was in a particular file and when I used the logo in the template I had to point to that file's location.

No it's in a file set aside for various data. That way I can just copy the entire folder when I back up files.

I don't bother with Quickbooks backup. I jsut back up the entire folder which inclusdes Quickbooks plus a bunch of other files.

I had the same problem, Heres a step by step solution to how I fixed the problem.

1) Uninstall Quickbooks (Make sure you backup your data files) Run RegSeeker to search for and remove registry data that contains "Quickbooks"

2) Uninstall Microsoft .NET 1.1 Framework + Hotfixes (To guarentee no flash 7 errors)

3) Uninstall Flash (To guarentee no flash 7 errors)

4) Reboot and Re-Install .NET 1.1 Framework.

5) Re-Install Standalone Flash 7

6) Disable NIC

7) Run Regedit > go to >

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

Look for My Pictures Key and make sure settings match: My Pictures REG_EXPAND_SZ %USERPROFILE%\My Documents\My Pictures

Make sure the "Type" field is a REG_EXPAND_SZ, if it is a regular REG_SZ you will still get the same error.

8) Re-Install Quickbooks, you should not receive the same error.

9) Re-Enable Nic and update Flash from Quickbooks.

Should be good. Hope this helps.
