Sharing Quicken on Home Network

dstern · Mar 30, 2006

I have a home ethernet network, with all four machines running Windows XP. I want to set up Quicken 2005 so that it is shared, allowing data to be entered or checked from a different machine than the one it is loaded on. Can anyone please advise how to do this? If possible, I would like to restrict this access to one of the other three machines, but this is not crucial, since Quicken is password protected.

I have tried by putting the Quicken folder in my shared files, and though it can be seen from the other computers, it will not open.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

if they can be seen and not opened did you get any error messages?

a possible is that you need to Map the network shared folder as if its a drive http://www.quickbooks.com/support/faqs/qb2006/201107.html
