transactions and initiate the multi-user network. The company file

.nd & .tlg.

option.
4. Type ‘.old’ at the end of both file names.
5. Launch QuickBooks Database Server Manager after saving the files.
6. Under the Scan Folders tab, tap Browse to locate your QuickBooks 
folder and click the Start Scan option.

accessing the company file in QuickBooks.
