You must have the server app installed, then enable multi user mode. Log off of one computer and access the shared file from the second. If you plan on using your laptop when away from the office install the server app on your laptop.

Can you give more information on what you are trying and in error messages that appear when you "can't get it to work"?

I have closed the desktop and try to log on to the laptop and it says quickbooks couldnt find the file, look under shared files and try again. I am clicking on the shared file and thats the answer I get.
