QuickBooks accounting software communicates
with the company files with the help of the database file manager in the multi-user
setup. The file manager communicates with the internet connection for accessing
the file. In case the firewall and other security programs are not updated,
then they will block the QuickBooks software to use the internet services, as a
result of which, the database file manager won’t be able to communicate with
the files. This is why, the user is required to configure
the QuickBooks firewall for multi-user mode in QuickBooks.
In today’s post, we are going to discuss
the entire process to configure firewall in QuickBooks desktop. Thus,
make sure to read this post ahead carefully. Moreover, you can also get in
