Why did I receive a “Crash: Com Error” message whilst using QuickBooks?
I am using QuickBooks 2017. I keep receiving the “Com Error” message when I try to email an invoice to a customer. When I click on OK, I get the same error message. When I click on OK again my QuickBooks account closes. I have been facing this problem for about a week now. Can anyone help me in resolving this issue?
