Doug Sleeter (http://sleeter.com/) specializes in QB seminars 
for CPAs. We are now members of his national group of Certified
QuickBooks Consultants, who must do more than QB requires for a
Certified Professional Advisor.

Doug surveyed around 1,600 QB users. This is the largest group 
survey I know about. Compare it prominent national election 
surveys that usually involve less than 600 people. By the way,
the few CPAs like us, who commented on QB plans, wanted to 
move all clients to QB2001.

The survey showed around 22 using NT Terminal Server or Citrix 
with QB. Doug did not report that any were having problems with 
it, though we have heard of problems before and have seen and 
heard of many problems with PC Anywhere type programs (lots 
of file corruption). I have heard nothing new on QB2001. 

We will now try WTS on W2000. It would be a big help if we could 
use it when we and our clients need to access files at the same 
time. I do not know if this only works with a direct connection, or we 
can use it as a web server. 

Obviously, we not only make mistakes but we also do not know 
everything.
