share access to QB data file

Apr 22, 2008 3 Replies

hi there,



i currently use QB on a desktop PC. I am getting a laptop and would like to be able to access QB from the laptop. I imagine i just need to install a copy of QB on the laptop, then make sure the data file/QB directory on the PC is shared so i can access it from the laptop copy of QB which will be looking in the same shared area for the data (over a wireless network).



Does anyone else do this? and if so, does it work trouble-free?



thanks


Version makes a difference, and I would avoid a wireless connection

thanks Gary. Version wise it will be the latest i think, currently using QB5! and i think it's time for an upgrade :-) re wireless - i know wired is better but this is just sitting around the house in the evening and deciding i want to have a quick check on invoices, etc. the majority of work will be done on the PC as it always has been.

thanks

Then install the free downloadable version of LogMeIn on the destop computer and access QB remotely. Works quite well over a decent wireless connection.
