Through this article, we will brief you with easy steps to host QuickBooks company data in the multi-user mode. So, stay glued and follow the instructions contained in this article carefully.

Before taking a direct leap onto the various steps to host your company data in multi-user mode in QuickBooks, it is important that you go through the various important pointers given below:

•          You must set up your company network environment appropriately in order to start implementing simultaneous user access. Your main QuickBooks company file and database should be "hosted" on a computer or server at your place of company. The rest of your office's computers will thereafter be referred to as "client" computers. The QuickBooks application software must be installed on both the host computer and each client computer.

•          Additionally, the host computer will have a QuickBooks Database Server Manager installed, which manages network access to the primary corporate file. When client users access the hosted QuickBooks company file, this program should always be running on the server.
