transferring files back and forth from office to home in quick books, both
computers will have the same quick books program installed and both will be running win xp home addition do i need a thumb drive or re-writeable CD... what do I need to do to be able to copy files onto either the cd or the thumb drive.
A thumb drive is easier. When you have finished work at the office, make a Backup (or Portable Copy - see your QB help for differences) of your company file to the thumb drive.
When you get home Restore the back up of your company file on your home computer. Reverse the process if you work at home and need to update the file at the office.
It may be wise to use two separate thumb drives if you anticipate doing this often. That way if one back up crashes or can't restore you will still have another back up. Remember the files do not "sync". Meaning if you make changes at home and someone else makes changes at the office. A Restore will wipe out one persons work.
I will try this and I will get a backup thumb drive for sure
