Error on Line * You cannot change the type of account.

Question

When I try to export from Payroll to QuickBooks I get the following error: Error on Line * You cannot change the type of account.

Answer

Find the file Qpexport.iif and open it in a spreadsheet program eg Microsoft Excel. Scroll down to the line that the error occured on, if the error was on line 25 it will be the 25th line in the spreadsheet. There will be 2 pieces of information that are important here: Account Name and Type. Note what these are. Go into the Quickbooks Chart Of Accounts and find the Account that is causing the problem, change the type to the same as what was in Qpexport.iif. Export the information from Payroll again.
