Quick Bid databases may be shared among different users working at different workstations. The database can be stored on a network. Quick Bid uses Microsoft Windows file sharing applications to share databases.
You must get local assistance from your IT Professional or Network Administrator, On Center Software Technical Support does not provide assistance with networking/sharing setups.
See the online FAQ Best Practices and Recommendations for Database Sharing for some helpful information on sharing databases.
