    Replacing QB data file after customization

    We used a copy of our QB live data file as our 'dummy' database when I started customizing Method for our use.

    We are intending to just replace this dummy file with the live data when customization and testing is completed.

    We're assuming the sync engine will update changes made between the creation of the dummy file and the current live data, allowing us to start live without any changes being made to our live data on startup.

    Will this actually work, or are there problems with this approach?  And, if so, what are they likely to be?

     

    thanks again for any help with this,

    Rolf-

    This may work since you made a copy of the Orginal File to use as the dummy but there may potentially be some issue or conflicts.

    If you want to try this I would suggest making a copy of your current live QB file before syncing it with you Method account just in case.

    The alternative and recommended method is to start a new Method account and copy screens from one account to the other.
