Open Multiple QuickBooks Files

Date: 20 Feb 2012 Comments: 2 so far

Did you know that if you can have more then one Quickbooks company file open at a time?

Many people don’t know that you can have more then one company file open in Quickbooks.  It’s just a matter of making sure you install the software in more then one location.

In Quickbooks 2012 you are able to install the software more then once so you can have more then one company file open.  Say you want to open Widget, Inc. and you want Acme, Inc. at the same time.  So you can do things like compare entries, or simply because you are busy in both files and it takes time to keep opening and closing the data file.

This is what you do:

1.  Install Quickbooks 2012 in more then one directory.

2.  Open your first company from the first installation.

3.  Open the second company from the second installation of Quickbooks.

4.  Smile!

That’s it!  If you feel like it something you wish not to venture then contact us for help.  We can help remotely or in-person (Charlotte Metro Area).  Remotely is the best.  It only takes a hour to configure and in most cases we can easily connect to your computer (as long as you have a high speed connection).

Have questions?  Just ask!  I will open this post to allow questions for the next 30-days.  After 30-days, contact us, and we will answer via e-mail.

Have a great day!
