QB 2006 - Copying QBW file to new server

Aug 22, 2006 1 Replies

Hi all -



A client of mine has QB Enterprise 2006. He needs to go through some old versions of his QuickBooks data at another location (he's quietly doing an internal audit). I have the QBW, QBW.ND and QBD.TLG files from each of the weeks that he wants to review (restored from a backup). I don't have "QuickBooks Backup" QBB files from these periods.



I have his new environment all set up with the QB database engine running on the server. I transfered the current file to the audit server via a backup / restore (QBB file) and he can access that just fine.



My question: To get to these earlier files, one set at a time will the following steps work?


- Ensure the workstation is not in QuickBooks



- Turn off the database service on the server



- Copy the three files into the same location



- Turn on the database service on the server



- Access the file from the workstation


Thanks in advance



Try it in your test environment.
