How many users are company file accessing QuickBooks at the same time? Which specific part in QuickBooks do you see this “Unknown user”? Any additional information would be highly appreciated. Thanks! IntuitSarah × Close Why do you want to report this? Spam Profanity Threats/Abuse Inappropriate Virus/Danger Broken Links Other Hi Sarah.  Yes, I'm in a multi-user environment.  We are using Enterprise Solutions: Professional Services Edition 15.0 (aka Enterprise 2015).  I see the error message after quickbooks company file I enter my log in credentials and click OK.  First I get a message that says "Company file in use.  Please wait."  Then in a minute or so the message changes to "Another QuickBooks user (Unknown user) is currently performing a task which must finish before you can continue.  QuickBooks will continue automatically when the other user's task has completed."  Then another message comes up later that says something about clicking Esc to exit.  This is supposedly a known issue.  I've seen this question asked multiple times on this forum going back as far as 2 years (that I can see). tammy.casiere × Close Why do you want to report this?
