In the Sharing Tab click Share this folder and Allow others to change files. The Share name should be set to C.
On the work station, right click my computer. Map Drive. Select a drive letter and click Browse. Open the networks (click the plus) and choose the folder C on the server. This name will vary with each system.

Install Quick Quote on each computer. It is OK the do the complete new install on each. If the program is already installed you do not need to re-install it.
On the work station, start Quick Quote and go to Settings. Select Network Drive and enter the drive letter you used when you mapped the drive.
