Merge Company Files
1. Download and install the Data Transfer Utility from Intuit Marketplace on the primary computer that will host your company file (link in Resources).
2. Copy your company file from the secondary computer to the primary computer. You can save the company file to disk or transfer it to the source computer over your network.
3. Launch QuickBooks on your primary computer. Open the company file from the secondary computer by clicking "File," "Open or Restore Company," and then selecting "Open a Company." This is known as the source file and it is used to sync information to your destination file.
4. Click the "Open Source Company" button in the "Export Data From Source Company" section in the Data Transfer Utility.
5. Select "Yes, Always; Allow Access Even if QuickBooks is Not Running" and check the option to allow the application to access personal data. Click "Continue," "Yes" and "Done" in QuickBooks.
6. Click the "Close" button in the "Currently Connected To" field within the Data Transfer Utility.
7. Click the "File" menu and select "Close Company" in QuickBooks.
8. Click "File," "Open or Restore Company," and then select "Open a Company" in QuickBooks. Select the company file that was originally used on this computer.
9. Click the "Open Destination Company" button from the "Import Data Into Destination Company" section of the Disk Transfer Utility.
