Microsoft Accounting Express 2008

[litechick]

I wonder if anyone here can help me with payroll on Microsoft Office Accounting Express 2008?

The program's internal "help" advises the following:

"After employee records have been created and the timesheets are completed for a specific period, open the Manual Payroll Calculator. Accounting 2008 enters the payroll information for the selected payroll period in the Manual Payroll Calculator, and then calculates earnings and deductions. "

I have created the employee record and a sample timesheet.

The Help continues to say:

"On the Employees menu, point to Manual Payroll, and then click Enter Manual Payroll."

I cannot find the "Manual Payroll" button anywhere. I have checked the "Employees" homepage and the "Employees" drop down menu.

Help also advises to enable macros in Excel by " click Options on the Security Warning toolbar" and I can't find that either.

Any help would be appreciated.

Just bumping the thread in hopes that it will catch the eye of someone who can help.

I would also welcome any suggestions for a different place to look for help.

In Accounting Professional, in Accounting Express, or in Small Business Accounting 2006, point to Manual Payroll on the Employees menu, and then click Enter Manual Payroll.

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, my problem is that there is no button for manual payroll.

I guess I'll just have to keep separate records instead of using my accounting software. It seems like the only way to do it in Accounting Express 2008 is to subscribe to a payroll service.
