QB 2006 - Copying QBW file to new server That One Guy 08-22-2006

Hi all -

A client of mine has QB Enterprise 2006. He needs to go through some old
versions of his QuickBooks data at another location (he's quietly doing an
internal audit). I have the QBW, QBW.ND and QBD.TLG files from each of the
weeks that he wants to review (restored from a backup). I don't have
"QuickBooks Backup" QBB files from these periods.

I have his new environment all set up with the QB database engine running on
the server. I transfered the current file to the audit server via a backup /
restore (QBB file) and he can access that just fine.

My question: To get to these earlier files, one set at a time will the
following steps work?

- Ensure the workstation is not in QuickBooks
- Turn off the database service on the server
- Copy the three files into the same location
- Turn on the database service on the server
- Access the file from the workstation


Thanks in advance
