Working remotely with Classic 13

[Geordi]

I have a client that has Peachtree Classic 13 and needs to be able to work remotely.

Is it possible to write an executable file to configure utilba.exe automatically for two data paths:

1) Office (Network Shared folder)
2) Home (Local folder)

Please email me if you have any ideas.

I don't think this is possible, but what you can do is simply create a bat file that changes the drive letter assignment (in Windows).

For example, in the office you would have:

NET USE F: \\servername\sharename (which maps the data to the F:\ drive)

and then in the home you could have:

SUBST F: C:\PCA\Data (which maps the data folder to the F:\ drive)

I don't know how this would solve your problem since this is not working remotely. The best way to do this remotely is simply to use RDP (Remote Desktop Connection in Win XP Pro), VNC or even PCAnywhere and then you would have access to the office PC just like if you were sitting in front of it.

Cheers,
