"Posting Account is Invalid"

My Accountant recently did some work on my Quickbooks file as I was
having problems (I'm NOT an Accountant!) Today I tried to enter an
Invoice. I used a memorized version of the Invoice that I have been
using for c. 10 years. It gave me an error message saying "Posting
Account is not Valid". How do I find out what account it thinks is
invalid (the Invoice has several items posting to different accounts)
and why it has suddenly become invalid? The Accountant claims she did
not make any changes to Accounts.

Thanks for your help,

Lin M

Look up each item on the invoice and examine the default GL accounts they
post to. change it to a valid one.

They all appear to be Valid.

How about the sales tax account (assuming you use one)?

Problem solved. My Accountant's Clerk had decided she didn't like one
of my Accounts so she changed it so that I couldn't use it in the same way!
