I entered an employee's name incorrectly when i set him up.

You can rename an employee to correct their information in your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), @FLConcrete1. I'll provide more details to guide you through the process and address your inquiry.

Before anything else, please know that the prompt appears when you try to delete an existing employee to create a new one with the correct details. In QBDT, you can modify the employee's name even if they have existing payroll transactions. These are the steps:

1. Go to the Employees menu and select Employee center.
2. Locate the employee that you want to correct the information and click on it.
3. Enter the correct name of the employee.
4. Once done, click the OK button.

For visual reference, see the screenshot below.
