If you have received an error message while running Payroll Pro, or there is something Payroll Pro will not let you do, we suggest you first ensure you have the latest version - 2.64 - by checking the version number in the main menu of Payroll Pro. If you are not up to date please use the "Check for Updates Online" option in Payroll Pro to update. This may solve your problem.
