GENERAL USER
When working with QuickBooks company file folders in SmartVault, you might encounter a scenario where adding new folders through the Connected Desktop results in an "Access Denied" error, even for administrators.
This article explains why this happens and outlines the design logic behind this restriction.
Why Can't I Add New Folders Here?
The folders within the QuickBooks company file folder are hard-coded to facilitate integration with the SmartVault QuickBooks toolbar. To ensure seamless functionality and maintain the integrity of this integration:
- Restricted Modifications: SmartVault developers have intentionally restricted the ability to change or modify the structure of these folders.
- Integration Requirements: These restrictions are in place to maintain the specific requirements for effective QuickBooks integration.
Understanding the Folder Path
When you add a company file to SmartVault, it creates a specific folder path. This path is essential for the integration and is designed to support QuickBooks functionality.
Important Aspects of Folder Structure
- Folder Location: The QuickBooks folder and subfolders are established during integration and should not be manually modified.
- Adding New Folders: You can add new folders in other areas, like the Applications folder, but the QuickBooks folder is locked to prevent unintended disruptions to the integration.
