I have 2 pc's that have vista on them and they are networked together. I have
Quickbooks on book pc's. When I try to open a word doc or a file in quickbook, the system tells me that I do not have permission. What can I do? |

If not, read about connecting Vista computers. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/12/windows-xp-and-vista-on-lan-together.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/1...-together.html You may also benefit from reading about file sharing in general. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/file-sharing-under-windows-xp.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...indows-xp.html And about troubleshooting networking problems. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...ghborhood.html -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP 2005-2007 [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.

Have a read of the above link re Vista File and Printer Sharing. Permission settings are ther as well. 1st thing to do is make sure that the Workgroup Name of ALL the computers is the SAME. In Vista Network and Sharing: Network Discovery: ON (So it can see the other computers) Network set to Private (Public is for hotspots, airports, etc) File Sharing: ON Public Folder Sharing: ON (Vista’s Public Folder is the same as XP’s Shared Docs) Password Protected: OFF (unless you want to set up identical usernames and passwords on ALL computers in your Network) If you have it ON, you will be asked for a username and password when you try to access a Vista computer from an XP computer. ..
