How can a company that is so big with so many resources not make Quickbooks work and make sense? Apparently, there is no way to delete a bill from the Mac 09 version. Now what?
Update: Apparently you have to go to the Accounts Payable register. Why not just be able to delete it where you enter bills?
Hi Chris,
You can also delete a bill from the bill itself. To get to a bill, double-click it in the Pay Bills window. Then type command-D (or go to Edit>Delete) to delete the bill.

Will, if your job is to find nerds like me on the internet and help them with Intuit products, then I am truly sorry. They are not paying you enough.
Thank you for addressing my concern but your method doesn’t seem to be working.
So I am in the “Pay Bills” window but there is no way to navigate to previous bills to delete them (not that I am really trying to at this point, just seeing if it is possible). There is a “Next” button but no “Previous” button; the way it is in “Estimates” and “Invoices” (not that that is a great way to navigate through a list of document types).
Speaking of this and while I have your attention for the moment, why isn’t there a way to navigate by list of Estimates and Invoices? Yes, it is important to be able to see transactions by client, I don’t want that to go away, but sometimes, you just need to browse a list of all Estimates and Invoices, independent of client/project, to reference things – instead of having to hit the previous and next butons. Additionally, why does Intuit see it fit to constrain the width you can resize a column dependent of widths of other columns (speaking specifically about the “Items” area and others like it.
There are so many aggravating things about Quickbooks I could go on and on. It is as if you guys don’t test on real people WITHOUT ACCOUNTING EXPERIENCE while they use your products. I know that cannot be the case though, so I find it even more baffling. I could see Quickbooks being clunky and buggy a couple years ago, but there is just no excuse for it compared to the quality of other cheaper software that is out there today. You guys are a huge company with boundless resources for field testing and R&D.
I would be willing to help point out these weaknesses for free if it meant a less frustrating product to use.
