Changing Path/Company File

Top  Previous  Next

If you have made changes to your QuickBooks company file and it is set to synchronize with Commit, or if you have modified the path to where your current QuickBooks company file is stored (i.e. by moving the QuickBooks installation from the local drive to the network), you need to change the path/company file in Commit.

 

Please follow the instruction below to 'Change Path/Company':

 

Important Note: We strongly recommend you backup Commit's data prior to changing the company file (note that all users should not be using Commit while you perform the backup).

Commit data is stored in <server>\Commit\DB folder.

 

In Commit, go to Tools > Options > QuickBooks menu, and click on Change Path/Company.

The following wizard will open.

 

commit_reselect_quickbooks_company_file

Click on Click to Select New File to select the new QuickBooks company file. The file browser will display.

 

commit_select_qb_company_file2

Select the new QuickBooks company file or the new path for the existing QuickBooks company file, and click Open.

 

You can now see the path and name of the current QuickBooks company file and the path and name of the newly selected QuickBooks company file.

 

commit_new_company_file_selected

Click Next.

 

In the next stage you'll be asked to select whether the file you have selected is:

1. 'a new path for the SAME company file'

or

2. 'a DIFFERENT QuickBooks company file'

 

Please see the following sections for a detailed description of each option.
