Hi there PCAG,

It's important that your QuickBooks Desktop be properly installed on your server to effectively use it to manage your company's books. It's a great program able to helps you keep track of sales and expenses in order to see your company's profitability. I can point you in the right direction for assistance.

For information on if having two Database manager programs on the same network can have an effect on accessing the files, and running QuickBooks Desktop on your server, I recommend reaching out to the QuickBooks Dekstop support team. They'll be able to provide information on possible scenarios using these two server managers can have and provide assistance in finishing up the setup. You can reach them using the methods offered in the QuickBooks Desktop software support policies.

If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out here.
