QuickBooks Integration Over Network

You will need to install RMS on your BO computer - and you should be able to have it run on XP Home without a problem. You can then do the accounting integration from there. You also should not run into any licensing issues as long as you don't try to open Store Ops on both computers (assuming you have 1 license)

I use QuickBooks and would like to take advantage of the accounting integration. My QuickBooks runs in my back office and not on the POS. When I am on my POS computer and click on the accounting integration wizzard it says that QuickBooks is not installed. Apparently the remote account application on the POS CD is only for Microsoft's accounting software. Is there any way for the POS to connect to my QuickBooks software/data over my network?

I cannot install the POS software on my back office machine to use in manager mode... apparently it needs XP Pro and I have Home on my back computer, so the SQL server wont install. Do I have to upgrade my back office PC or is there something else I can try?

as the server machine, just make sure that on the install, you tell the program that its a non-server machine.

upgrading to XP Pro anyway.

If you are talking about SQLExpress I know for a fact it can be installed on XP Home because I've done it several times. I know this doesn't help a whole lot, but as far as SQLExpress is concerned XP Home isn't a problem. Craig

I don't have experience with POS but believe it uses MSDE rather than SQL Express. With RMS you can install SQL Express or SQL 2005 prior to starting the installation of RMS. This allows you to skip the database installation step in RMS.

_IF_ that same th> I have tried several times to install the software on the back office

I have a customer that needs accounting software integration with RMS HQ 1.3 in Canada. They can't afford SBF so wondering if there Quick Books or Simply Accounting will work with HQ1.3 in Canada. Kindly advise.
