In conjunction with the upcoming Version 17 release of our software, scheduled for later this year, we will be discontinuing the following features:

• QuickBooks Integration with PracticeMaster Only – QuickBooks integration will only be available when Tabs3 is installed.
• QuickBooks IIF integration – This type of integration is no longer supported by QuickBooks. We will continue to support the QBXML integration with Tabs3 that QuickBooks recommends and supports.
• PracticeMaster Briefcase – Tabs3 Connect is an excellent alternative to PracticeMaster Briefcase.
• DOS Cost Recovery Software – Our Tabs3 Device Interface program (TBDevice.exe) replaces these utility programs. These legacy programs do not run on 64-bit operating systems and have become obsolete. Although any cost recovery programs that firms currently use will continue to work with the Version 17 software, effective immediately, we will no longer sell these programs, or provide updates or recopies of these programs. We encourage you to contact us at your convenience regarding transitioning firms to the recommended replacement program, Tabs3 Device Interface. Be advised that firms that require a new serial number due to an update or upgrade will need to upgrade to the Tabs3 Device Interface program at that time.
• WCNVASCV.EXE – Our Tabs3 Device Interface program (TBDevice.exe) replaces WCNVASCV.EXE. The Tabs3 Device Interface program includes the format used by WCNVASCV. Effective immediately, we will no longer sell WCNVASCV.EXE. Firms that have this program on maintenance are eligible to receive a free upgrade to the Tabs3 Device Interface program upon request.

Although our research indicates that a small percentage of firms use these features, we have made this announcement so that you can begin to work with your clients to plan for any transition.
