If you are unable to stop FileConnect and receive the message FileConnect #### could not be stopped, it could be caused by several issues

• There are users still connected to a company file on this machine
• A user has their Company File Browser open and that particular host computer is highlighted
• AccountEdge Network Edition crashed or abnormally quit

Try the following to stop FileConnect

• Make sure everyone is out of all accounting files located on the machine running FileConnect
• Make sure that there isn't a user who has the open file window open, with the host computer that is having the problem selected in the list
• Restart your host computer once you are sure everyone is logged out of all files that are available on this host machine. This will typically solve the problem of not being able to stop FileConnect
