How to Fix Customer Jobs Missing from Dropdown Menus in QuickBooks |

Long time no talk to! I hope you are doing well. One of our users was doing some merging of Customers and Jobs last night and in the midst of that she lost the data in all her drop down menus. We ran a backup/Rebuild/Verify and they are still empty. We established a new user id for her and that didn’t fix it. It appears to be limited to her computer. She can login on my computer and all the info is there. I thought about re-installing the software on her PC but wanted to check with you first.

Any ideas?

Have her try re-sorting the lists. The easiest way to do this is to go to Banking > Write Checks and do a Ctrl+L in the Pay to the Order of box. That’ll bring up a list of all your customers, vendors, and employees. Select the Name button and then Re-Sort Lists.

If that doesn’t do the trick, try rebuilding your data file at File > Utilities > Rebuild Data. You may need to do it 3-5 times before it clears up.
