Time and again I run into the question, “Do I need to be in Single-User Mode to do this?”. Here is a list of what you cannot do:
- Backing up, condensing, converting, rebuilding, restoring, or updating the company data file
- Changing company information, including the closing date
- Setting up or changing company preferences
- Importing or exporting data
- Merging, deleting, or resorting list items
- Changing list item fields that interacts with other lists
- Signing up for a QuickBooks Payroll Service
- Printing Form 1099-MISC
- Mapping a network drive from within QuickBooks
- Defining custom fields
- Linking to QuickBooks from TurboTax
- Accountant’s review activities
If you have any other tasks I have no mentioned please feel free to add in our comments!
