I have several users that have networked versions of Quickbooks.
At one office, they have it running on a terminal server & users can
log into that remotely & work fine.
In another office, I have it running on one users computer & they have
the data drive shared out.
All client #2's computers are Vista Home (too cheap to buy the Pro
version!), & it works in the office, but not as smoothly as a client/
server network does.
Now they want to be able to work from home!
If they had desktops, I could use something like Log Me In & set them
up to work from home, but they all have laptops!
What they are wanting to do is to VPN into the company network & work
in QB that way, which would involve mapping a network driver over a
VPN connection.
I see this working very sluggishly, at best.
Anyone doing this?
I am planning on telling them to break out the checkbook & buy a
server & set up terminal server connections, unless someone has a
better idea.
Any advice appreciated!
