When Keyword Search installs, it finds every version of QuickBooks that you might have on your computer and installs the files into each one. It is designed to automatically work with every install of QuickBooks, but it doesn’t always succeed. The problem is that only one of those files it installed can be “active” at any one time, and whichever QuickBooks you are running - that’s the keysearch file that must be “active”. There’s a registration batch file included in the installation called “KeySearchRegister.bat”. It contains the commands needed to activate a particular install path. In Vista though, you can’t just double click it, and running it as administrator probably won’t work either. First, exit QuickBooks. Then click the Windows start menu icon and go to the All Programs/Accessories. Right click the Command Prompt and select Run as administrator. Then you’ll have to browse to the folder containing the KeySearchRegister.bat file, something like cd c:\program files\intuit\quickbooks - make sure it is the proper folder for the particular QuickBooks installation that you are really using. Then run the register file - c:>keysearchregister.bat That will pop up a couple of messages indicating the registration succeeded. Re-run QuickBooks and Keyword Search should work. - Matt H
