This is a quick “heads up” to alert anyone who may be using Peachtree with Timeslips: as of this time Peachtree 2010 does not have a functional link to Timeslips. If you install Peachtree 2010 and then attempt to connect your Timeslips database to Peachtree via the TALPro link between Timeslips and Peachtree, you will be unable to see any of your Peachtree companies from within the Timeslips TALPro setup screen.

We encountered this issue internally yesterday, and were able to confirm with Peachtree Tech Support this morning that “at this time” the Timeslips TALPro link is not functional with Peachtree 2010. Sage expects to release a “link utility” for Peachtree 2010 at about the same time that they release Timeslips 2010 (early to mid-July), at which time, according to Support, “some” (?) earlier versions of Timeslips will be able to link to Peachtree 2010.

For now, our advice to anyone running Timeslips and Peachtree with the TALPro Peachtree link active is to not install Peachtree 2010 yet. By all means purchase the Peachtree upgrade (to capture the upgrade discounts available) but let it “age” on the shelf for a while until we have a functional link between the two products available from the manufacturer.

We’ll post an update here as soon as we have successfully installed a link between Peachtree 2010 and Timeslips. Stay tuned.
