The Microsoft Office software includes the Outlook or the email program in addition to the Word and Excel programs. QuickBooks were built to be able to load documents and email messages to Outlook easily. This can thus help forms to be mailed directly in Outlook from the QuickBooks program.

When triggered by QuickBooks, the Outlook program is supposed to open automatically. If the program is closed, then QuickBooks will open it. If it is already running, QuickBooks will send the form immediately to Outlook.

However several Outlook problems are reported with this function of QuickBooks. Outlook problems like apparent closing of the program, while the program will be still running in the background, unusable but visible in the task manager. These Outlook problems create issues where the CPU space is utilized without getting any useful work done. One way to get over such Outlook problems is to select the process or application in the Task Manager windows and close them.

This causes serious Outlook problems because the QuickBooks program seeing that Outlook is running while closed may not transfer forms or be able to send the forms. In addition to such Outlook problems being caused by QuickBooks, other software including WinFax Pro, BlackBerry Software, Stamps.com, iTunes calendar sync may also cause Outlook problems.
