Sharing a QB 2006 file - 4/16/07

Apr 16, 2007 5 Replies

My wife switches between her laptop and desktop (different floors) while working. Can we share the QB file via the briefcase in Windows? I've set it up, but is shows a read only, so it won't sync back. Changing the attribute doesn't hold.



Any ideas?

If you have a wired or wireless network at your home, setup QB to host multi-user access on the desktop computer. It will work with a single license as long as you don't attempt to run QB on both the desktop and laptop at the same time.

This is something I do not get. QB 07 is using Sybase no? Why on earth does it still require windows file shares and not simple IP/port number. I was expecting it to work with port numbers like a normal DB, but sad to find it did not and still requires file shares.

I to have spend many sleepless nights pondering over this same dilemma.

Because they want more money for it. On the phone they told me that an additional multi-user copy would cost $1400.00. They can suck eggs. Anyone know how to crack this?

Why do you need another multi-user copy? another single license might be all you need.
