⚠️ If you receive an error message when you try to export another Excel report, save your Excel report workbook, then close the workbook. Then export the next report as instructed, saving and closing Excel after that report export. Basically, in some versions of Excel, you must save and close the workbook after each report export, before exporting the next report.

2. Follow the instructions to unzip the data files.
3. Follow your text instructions to restore the data files.
⚠️ Important Note: With the new 2018 version of QuickBooks, there are some changes with regard to passwords.
When restoring a QBB file if QuickBooks requires you to create a password in order to continue, create your own password and record the password in a secure location, such as the inside cover of your textbook.
When restoring QuickBooks QBB files, if a password is requested:
Try using User ID: Admin and leave the Password field blank
If you are using the QBB Starter files and QuickBooks requires a password and QuickBooks will not accept the password field blank, try User ID: Admin and Password: KayQB2018
If none of the above approaches permit you to restore the QBB file, see your instructor

xPM: eXPLORE, PRACTICE, MASTER
Computer Accounting with QuickBooks 2018 uses a highly effective three-step approach to streamline learning. Simplify and streamline learning QuickBooks with XPM:
eXplore
Practice
Master
eXplore QuickBooks using the chapter with numerous screen shots and detailed instructions. While we eXplore, we will focus on learning how to navigate and use QuickBooks. Chapters in Computer Accounting with QuickBooks are designed as tutorials to introduce the accounting software features. All chapters are based on realistic, virtual company scenarios to enhance your understanding of QuickBooks in the business environment.
Practice entering information and transactions into QuickBooks with end-of-chapter exercises. Exercises are designed with fewer instructions to test your understanding and, when needed, to develop your skills at quickly seeking out additional information to complete tasks. The ability to seek out information as needed, is an increasingly important skill in a rapidly changing business environment. Computer Accounting with QuickBooks is designed to facilitate your development of this crucial skill.
Master QuickBooks with projects and case studies. The projects and cases cover QuickBooks tasks from setting up a new company and entering transactions to generating QuickBooks reports. To improve long-term retention of your software skills and mastery of QuickBooks, the virtual projects and cases challenge you to apply and develop both software and problem-solving skills. Two additional mastery opportunities, Chapter 12 and Chapter 14, are comprehensive case studies to integrate your knowledge and QuickBooks skills.
