Creating a Remote Entry firm database

If your firm database is set to allow staff members to use the Remote Entry feature, you can use the
Remote Entry
 dialog to create a remote entry firm database for you to use when you are away from the office.
If your laptop is connected to the firm network, use the following procedure to create a remote entry firm database.
You can use this procedure whenever you want to update the client data on your laptop.
This procedure replaces all existing Remote Entry firm data from your laptop, along with any time or expense entries that you have not transmitted. Be sure to transmit all existing entries before updating your Remote Entry firm data.
