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.
