Add UltraTax CS as a solution

  • In a project or task template, you can't choose a specific year of UltraTax CS.
  • In a client project or client task, you'll need to choose a specific year of UltraTax CS.
  • Add UltraTax CS as a solution if you want to use completion events and extension events.

Add Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel as a solution

  • You can enter a file path to open a specific Word or Excel document. Select the ellipsis next to the
    File path
    field and go to the file.
  • If you don’t specify a file path, Practice CS opens Word or Excel to a blank screen. You'll need to manually open your document.

Add Other as a solution

  • If you select
    Other
    , specify a solution path for Practice CS to link to the application. Select the ellipsis next to the
    Solution path
    field and select the
    EXE file
    for the application.
  • You can't use the Other solution to open a specific document or client. Practice CS opens the program based on the EXE file, but doesn’t open any data within that program.
