Opening computation causes Personal Tax to crash without a warning

Scenario

Personal Tax may crash without a warning when opening a computation.

Cause

This issue is caused by spousal link working incorrectly.
You can check it by:
  • Opening the record and checking if there is spouse folder available, within
    Information Explorer
    menu.
  • If yes, right-click it and select
    Open Spouse Client
    .
  • Check if newly opened spouse record also has a spouse folder available in
    Information Explorer
    . If not, this is a probable cause for Personal Tax to crash when opening computation.

    is not
    connected with Digita Practice Management (DPM):

      Spouse
