Thanks for your prompt response.  To clarify, I do have the current folder location for the QBW files.  However, these QB company files are stored on the server (\\Server\Company Files is the path).  We have made back up (QBB) files for each company and stored the files on a USB flash drive for transfer to what will be the sole QB computer after the server has been removed).  Since we will no longer have the server to use as a source, I need to determine where (on the local drive of the standalone laptop) the QB company/backup files should be placed so that the QB program will recognize these files after they have been transferred from the USB thumb drive.

 

For example, should the folder used to store the company files be in this path?  (C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\Intuit\QuickBooks\Company Files)?  Should I use that as the destination folder for the company files (QBB) transferred from the USB flash drive?  When copied and installed on the QB laptop, will the restored backup files (including the QBW files) then be visible and available to QuickBooks upon entry (i.e., will these files all be options to opened with QuickBooks, on the initial attempt to see them, as well as having them visible and available when QB is opened in the future?).

 

Thanks.
