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 Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor Gary E Guest Posted: Tue Apr 22, 2008 7:58 pm    Post subject: Re: share access to QB data file Version makes a difference, and I would avoid a wireless connection Gary <rothko@talk21.com> wrote in message news:692df25b-5814-4c91-8fb2-3d64de4f5892@a1g2000hsb.googlegroups.com...

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 Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor Haskel LaPort Guest Posted: Wed Apr 23, 2008 5:16 pm    Post subject: Re: share access to QB data file <rothko@talk21.com> wrote in message news:5b835d20-63e0-4efa-ad0e-b210cb5637a3@w7g2000hsa.googlegroups.com...

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