MyInvoices & Estimates Deluxe

This is the best software for sending invoices that I every used. Simple format to use and that means I can do my invoices in half the time the other system takes.I have another invoice system that is very complex and that means it take twice the time to use.

works well for me

If it hadnt been for the bad reviews, I would have tried this program a long time ago...I have been using an inexpensive, minimalist & somewhat glitchy invoice program for the last twenty years, and with the end of Windows 7 came my end of that software. So the trial and error began. I read review after review, on Amazon and online. I tried Quickbooks Online...they froze my account all while still charging the subscription fee...if you sign up with your mobile then you cant access certain account changes on your computer...youll also be charged more monthly just to have a field for purchase order numbers? Really?? Then I tried the free NCH Suite offered by Amazon..its only free for what, two weeks, then it wont print (that was a waste of time). It seems that every invoice company is just trying to lock customers into the lifetime monthly fee. I do my expense reports on an Excel Spreadsheet I bought several years ago, and I like to write out my checks. All I needed was a program to make invoices (with customizable fields) and lists of those on a monthly or annual basis...just something basic. Upon opening this program up, it appeared that Id be stuck with using the brightly colored templates, but after going into customize and clicking on the box fields; then the color tabs above, I changed the background to white and the field heads to a light blue color, thus low ink use. The font sizes can also be changed. I like how the list of invoices is on the left hand side and always visible. This program also allows for emailing and creating PDFs. If you need something basic that doesnt overly connect all your accounts...this is well worth a try! Sincerely

Very complicated program. Nothing like the old versions. Returned it because wasn’t working for what I needed. Opted to send back myself (cheaper). Only to find out I got a restocking charge of the same price refunded tax. Not happy. Cheaper to have kept it

I have used MyInvoices & Estimates Deluxe for, what, 20 years? V6 still works for my purposes, but I can no longer generate any reports, as it keeps telling me that it is unable to open database and unable to load selected report. I purchased V10 in hopes of importing my V6 data and being able to generate the 2019 reports I need, but I cannot even get V10 to install. Further, it tells me that I can also use a code on a yellow sticker on the back of the card in the box, but there is no such sticker. This situation is absolutely absurd. I owned a computer business for years, so I can assure you there is no operator error going on. If anyone has input, Im all ears. I look forward to revising my rating of this product. UPDATE 9/20: By working with the company, I was finally able to get the program to install. Some things about it I like, but not all; I would say that version the older version, its in some ways a step forward and some ways a step back. One simple thing is that I used to be able to tab from a certain field to the next field and the program would auto populate the fields info if I typed the first letter (say, typing the P of PayPal), but the new version doesnt do that, so I have to retype the same info in each invoice. Also, the invoices print smaller on the page than they used to, making them more difficult to read. A positive is that they now do print in color, which the older version wouldnt do. There are other aspects that I find kludgy compared to the old version; one would be that the old version allowed me to print to PDF and would open the PDF automatically; this version asks me each time if Id like to open the PDF. Ive upped the stars from 1 to 3, given that the program now does install and does work, but its not a panacea. UPDATE 9-18-20: Not fully loving V10, including missing some features from V6, I read others positive comments about V9, so I bought a never-used copy on the auction site. I was very bummed, though, when I went to install it and it said You have another version of this software. Do you want to upgrade it? I selected NO...and the software bombed. I tried multiple times and it simply will not let me install it fresh without upgrading a previous version. Not happy, Avanquest. If anyone has tips, Im all ears.

I absolutely love this latest version of My Invoice & Estimates Deluxe. This use to be sold by Elibrium and then it was bought out by Avanquest and Avanquest has done an excellent job. What saved my wifes business was that she had version 5 from 2001! This latest version handled the importing in of everything! We were extremely nervous that we were going to have to start out all over again and lose years worth of invoices and product list items. My wife really likes the handy search icons at the top of the Window that show on every page so when a client calls and asks about a type of custom drapery, she can search her product list quickly and give a client an estimate fast. Also, we were using CutePDF to export an invoice to a PDF file by printing, but in this version, we can export straight to a PDF from the software. Im sort of surprised by the wave of negative reviews because my experience was completely opposite. My wife loved it and was able to figure out the interface quickly, even when using version 5 from 13 years ago! Its her business and I just handle the computer upgrades for her. She was so happy I got a big kiss afterwards! Thanks Avanquest and I hope you keep developing this software for many more years to come.

WORKS WELL EASY SETUP

Simply cant click an invoice and mark it paid. Multiple steps required. One customer, several invoices, you gotta open each invoice individually and type in amount paid. Cumbersome. There are other things I dont like but Im not here to write a novel. I could but Im too busy wasting time on invoices.

nice

This program sucks! I downloaded it and once I tried to open the programs... A message displayed stating that the IP address and email is no longer valid... I couldnt utilize the programs at all due to this
