To make matters worse, I have had nearly a dozen phone calls with Intuit support staff to see if there is anything that can be done to eradicate this painful problem. Believe me, this can be frustrating to work with. Common symptoms include application sluggishness, application time-outs and even possible data corruption. This is especially true for larger files (greater than 50 MB). The problem is that when you open these same files across a network connection, performance suffers. In my experience, working with any size QuickBooks data files when stored locally (meaning when the file resides on the same computer that is accessing that file) runs really well. This isn't necessarily network performance, but performance with how QuickBooks accesses and reads their own data files across a network. The second challenge in a multi-user environment is performance. A server is better suited for this task because they're designed to be on all the time. This is normal and encouraged, but if you expect to host centralized data on these systems, you need to know that these systems can't go down. The reason a server makes more sense in most cases is because client computers are designed to go to sleep, be restarted, or be even shut down from time-to-time. You can either host it on a client machine, or ideally, on a server. The first challenge is deciding where you want your QuickBooks data file hosted.
