SageForum for UK versions of Sage 50- Help and support.

Hi, my first post but have found lots of help on forum apart from an answer to this query.
We are running line 50 V11 on our two PC network. One PC is a laptop which I take away with me most nights. My bookkeeper wants to work on Sage at home rather than coming to the office. How can we achieve this? Sage is pointing to a Z drive on my network. So when the laptop is disconnected it cannot find Z drive.. I am not very teccy so be gentle with me

It is a bad idea.

You run the risk of people working in the office data set when the laptop is away.

If you want to take the risk then you need to copy the data from the server to the laptop (I would then damage the data on the server by renaming files or something so that no one could use it)

You could then change the data path on the laptop (COMPANY file) to the local disk and use the local copy.

You would then want a reverse process.

DO NOT try using offline folders, that is asking for trouble BIG TIME

I could write a couple of batch files to do it for you, but unless you know what you are doing it is not going to be easy and it could get messy.
