I've used WebEx and Logmein for remote access (both attended and
unattended access) and been very happy with both.

I did a bit of further research mainly on the QB site.

WebEx seems like a VNC type of application. Meaning, you remotely
connect to a PC, run QB on the local PC and the remote PC just gets
updates on its screen of what's on the local PC's monitor. In that
case, the local PC can't be used at the same time.

Do you or anyone else knows if it is at all possible to run Quickbooks
on the remote PC but access only the data file remotely and
concurrently with another user?

WebEx or any other similar available remote connection methods (many
are even free like QNext or CrossLoop ) could work but in this case
the date/time of remote access cannot be scheduled for when the local
PC is unattended.

Thanks for your help.

Windows Terminal Services. I believe now that is officially offered only for
USA Enterprise version.

The small investment in an additional workstation running QB and a service
like Logmein may be your most cost effective solution if only one remote
session is required.
