Hi CindyGou
Thanks for your question, and welcome to the MYOB Community Forum - we hope you find it a useful resource.
This is a question we get asked occasionally - and even more so at the momemt due to Covid-19.
Accountants Office, and Accountants Enterprise are desktop Client/Server applications. There are components that reside on your server - such as the SQL server, various Service applications, such as Lodgement and Backup services - and then there are workstation componets that are installed on your workstation to interact with the server components.
because of the nature of the application, the workstation softrware must be on the same network as the server components.
There are a few ways you can do this working from home - such as :
- Remote Desktop Connections to a Remote Desktop Server or individual workstations in your practice
- Remote Connectivity applications such as TeamViewer
- VPN connections
I am currently writing a KB article to provide information about these - to help you and you team decide what options work best - and you can work with your IT provider on this.
I will publush the KB link here as soon as it's finished being written.
