Question

When the 5th user logs into Quickbooks I get a warning "Already 5 users logged in", why?

Answer

This is caused because your datafile is hosted and shared from a Windows XP Home machine. Windows XP Home has a software limitation of only allowing 5 network connections at any one time. You may have already used one of these connections though a mapped network Printer, or other network resource.

To resolve this you will need to Clear the other network mappings, or host the datafile on another operating system such as Windows XP Professional.
