SYMPTOMS
When you view the vendor list in Microsoft Office Accounting Express 2007, in Microsoft Office Accounting Professional 2007, or in Microsoft Office Small Business Accounting, you may see duplicate vendor ID numbers in the Vendor ID column.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because some tax agency ID numbers are the same as some of the vendor ID numbers. Accounting Express 2007, Accounting Professional 2007, and Small Business Accounting display tax agencies and vendors in the vendor list. Tax agencies and vendors can have their own set of ID numbers.

Note You cannot have two vendors that have the same vendor ID number. You cannot have two tax agencies that have the same tax agency ID number.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, change the tax agency ID numbers if you want to see unique vendor ID numbers in the vendor list. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the Vendors menu, point to Vendor Lists, and then click Vendors.
 * 2) Double-click the tax agency that you want to change.
 * 3) On the General tab, change the number in the Agency ID box to a unique number.
 * 4) Click Save and Close.

Note After you create your first tax agency, Accounting Express 2007, Accounting Professional 2007, and Small Business Accounting automatically follow the same numbering pattern when you create additional tax agencies. For example, if you set the first tax agency ID number to &quot;T1,&quot; Accounting Express 2007, Accounting Professional 2007, and Small Business Accounting automatically set the second tax agency ID number to &quot;T2.&quot;



Steps to reproduce the problem

 * 1) In the Accounting Express 2007, Accounting Professional 2007, or Small Business Accounting sample service company, click Preferences on the Company menu, and then click the Vendors tab.
 * 2) In the Vendor pane, click the Use vendor ID option, and then click OK.
 * 3) Point to Vendor Lists on the Vendors menu, and then click Vendors.
