2006 Quickbook Pro Mulit User setup

I'm looking to setup 2006 Quickbook Pro multi user for a friend on mine at his main office. What I need to know is can his second store do a remote desktop to the serving machine (windows 2000 server) and work the files from the second store location. I know that the second store location can remote into the server however will he be able to run QB in mutli user mode? I'm new at this and really need some help here.

Second location system.

Window XP Pro, 512 megs ram, Intel Pentiem 4 1.6 processor, 30 megs freedisk space.

Main location

Windows 2000 Server SP4

1.5 GB ram, AMD athalon 1.9megs, and 2 250 meg partishined hard drives.

Both locations have static IP address on business DSL. 1.5/256

Thanks ahead of time.

I have sort of achieved the same setup Steven. Though by saying "remote desktop" I am presuming both stores wouldn't be accessing the same data at the same time?

What I have done here is 3 x QB pro user licence.

2 main PC's used in store, 1 PC in store, on network, but not really used (this one in fact)

Using TightVNC running as a service on the little used PC I can log into this machine and operate as though sat on the machine.

As it's dealing with accounts, and VNC is a non-encrypted comms, I set up a VPN using the shop firewall/router (netgear) and netgear prosafe client on the home PC. As both ends have a static IP in your case it is a bit easier, but even though both ends of my situation have Dynamic IP address, Using Dydns on the firewall and client PC I can access every PC on the lan or at home from any other PC.

Home subnet is 172.16.0.nnn Shop is 192.168.0.nnn

Also had to set up static routes on each end something like

172.16.0.0 subnet 172.16.0.255 Gateway 192.168.0.1

and vice versa.

Hope that helps with some ideas. Cheers Pete
