Thanks for your response to my question. Just to clarify, we wish to move QB company files from the server on the current three-station network configuration that has been in use for several years.
The owner of the company wants to pare the computer system down. He wants to remove the network and server from the system. All that will be left in terms of QB is a standalone laptop.
Without a server, there are no mapped network drives to create a link to the past locations of the QB company files. As a result, when I try to use the prior company files via the QB file menu, the screen is blank and no company files are detected or shown. My guess is that since they have been only used from the server, and the server no longer exists, they do not show up at all. This is the problem I am trying to resolve. We have created backup QBB files from the server and stored them on a USB flash drive. What I don't know how to determine is where the restored QBB files should go on the remaining laptop (i.e., which folder). When that has been determined, will QB then "see" and load these company files when selected (so we can use QuickBooks with our data)?
Thanks again for your assistance with this.
John
