How to Enable and Disable QuickBooks Messenger?

Did you know QuickBooks even offers a QuickBooks messaging app? QuickBooks Messenger is a messaging utility platform designed to improve internal communication among QuickBooks users. It is available in multi-user mode on QuickBooks desktop and allows users to communicate without difficulty using the same business file on a server. Users will talk with one another or in groups here.

When you use QuickBooks Desktop in multi-user mode, QuickBooks Messenger is open. The QuickBooks Messenger service enables communication between workers who are logging into the QuickBooks company register. Furthermore, workers will use this messenger to address any important details pertaining to QB business records. In addition, if you choose to use QB Desktop in single-user mode, disable QuickBooks Messenger in the utility area.

How to Disable QuickBooks Messenger?

The QuickBooks Messenger tool allows the workers signed into the QuickBooks company file to connect in real-time. In an ideal world, your workers can only use the tool to discuss details pertaining to your company’s QuickBooks results. You may, however, uninstall the device if you find that your employees are not using it to talk with your company’s financial records. QuickBooks Messenger can be disabled by going to the Utilities menu.

Follow the steps mentioned below to disable your QuickBooks messenger: 

  • Open QuickBooks and navigate to the “File” menu.
  • Choose “Switch to Multi-User Mode” and enter your administrator credentials.
  • Return to the “File” tab and click “Utilities.”
  • To disable QuickBooks Messenger, select the “Disable QuickBooks Messenger” option.
  • To trigger the update, exit QuickBooks and re-enter it.

Only an administrator has the ability to log off other accounts or close the QuickBooks company register.

This is how it is handled:

  • Click on the ‘chat with a coworker’ button to launch QuickBooks Messenger.
  • Then, from the Actions drop-down menu, click ‘close business file’ for the users.
  • Now, as an administrator, choose the person on whom you want to close the business register.
  • Close the business file and check by pressing the ‘Yes’ button.

What Are The Reasons For Your QuickBooks Messenger To Not Work Properly?

There could be many reasons contributing to this issue.

Some of them are mentioned below: 

  • You are probably going to face this issue if your window OS is corrupt or damaged. 
  • If there is an absent or corrupt QOQWUSER.IN file 
  • If your company file name is not proper, you can come across this issue. 
  • If there is some problem with the hard drive, you can again face this issue. 

How To Fix Enable or Disable in QuickBooks Messenger?

If your QuickBooks messenger is not working correctly, you can try out the solutions given below:

Solution 1: Try QuickBooks Tool Hub

  • Task Manager can be used to close the QuickBooks program.
  • Following that, Install QuickBooks Tool Hub on your device by downloading it from the official Intuit website.
  • After the tool has been successfully installed, double-click on the icon to open it.
  • Now, navigate to the Program Problems tab and select the ‘Quick Fix my Program’ option.

After following the steps mentioned above, try your messenger again; if the issue persists, try out the other solution.

Solution 2: Create a New QBWUSER.IN File

  • First, navigate to My Computer.
  • Navigate to the View page.
  • Select Advanced settings from the drop-down menu.
  • Locate the ‘Hidden Files and Folders’ option and choose the ‘Show Hidden Files and Folders’ option.
  • Rename the QBWUSER.INI file on your C: drive.

Once you restart QuickBooks, it will automatically build a new QBWUSER.INI file. I hope this fixes the problem. Otherwise, proceed to the next potential solution.

Solution 3: Allow Administrator Rights

  • Open the ‘Windows Small Business Server’ program from the All Programs tab by clicking on the Start menu.
  • In the Windows SBS Console, navigate to the ‘Users and Groups’ panel.
  • Select the ‘Add a new user account’ option and fill out all of the requested information.
  • Give the account administrative privileges and then press the ‘Finish’ button.
  • Navigate to the ‘User Accounts’ choice in the ‘Control Panel.’
  • Look for QBDataServiceUserXX in your QuickBooks Desktop app version.
  • Choose the ‘Change Account Sort’ button, then the ‘Administrator’ option.
  • To save the changes, press ‘Change Account Type’ and then ‘Apply.’

Solution 4: Closing the Company File

  • In QuickBooks, go to the “File” menu at the top-left corner of the screen.
  • Choose “Close Company” from the drop-down menu.
  • If you have any unsaved changes, QuickBooks will prompt you to save them.
  • Save the changes if needed.
  • Confirm the action by clicking “Yes” when asked if you want to close the company.
Close Company File User

Solution 5: Reopening the Company File

  • To reopen the company file, launch QuickBooks.
  • From the “No Company Open” window, click on “Open or restore an existing company.”
  • Browse to the location where your company file is stored and select it.
  • Click “Open” to open the company file.

When the company file is closed, the QuickBooks Messenger feature is effectively disabled since users won’t have access to the file to exchange messages. When you reopen the company file, the messaging feature will be available to users once again.

Remember that only users with the appropriate permissions can close or open the company file. As an administrator or a user with administrative privileges, you can control these actions to manage communication through QuickBooks Messenger.
