Hi Support team,

Hi Vick

Features requiring Single-User-only mode include:

• Company File operations such as backing up or importing/exporting data
• Moving or deleting List names/items
• Tasks involving "Accountant's Copy" File
• Certain setup configuration tasks (eg Finance Charges)
• Database (eg List) searches NOTE: Searches can still be done in Multi-User mode but results may be incomplete, depending on the 'indexing' (data categorisation & storage) status of your file

Basically, Single-User mode is necessary for anything that requires the full file to be accessible &/or current.

Features are generally also faster when in Single-User Mode - as the system is running only the one user connection - so it's recommended to perform bigger tasks (eg generating large/detailed reports) in Single-User mode where possible.
