 Question:
-I have been the only Speed-Quote user in my company and Speed-Quote is only installed on my computer.  We have just put Speed-Quote on a new computer for someone else to use and are now going to start using a Speed-Quote server to hold all of the information.  The new user cannot see my Master Entry Sheet products or and of my quotes.  How can we set Speed-Quote up so we can both share the information?
