Hello,

We currently use Sage 50 with Connection Manager installed on a server and multiple computers accessing the company database from a network share in that server. With Covid and our user working 90% from home over VPN it is really slow for them to work this way so we are evaluating the option to migrate to the Remote Data Access service.

- I would like to understand how will this work, can both sharing mechanisms coexist with each other?

- If they can and we just share with RDA as is, wouldn't this mean Sage 50 is still using the database out of the network share (and still super slow when remote) and at the same time sharing and synchronizing changes with RDA? and if true, what happens with other users, would this dual mechanism of sharing cause conflicts?

- Should we first move the company file to the main user computer, get rid of the network share and server and then share it using RDA from that PC?

I guess I just trying to understand how would this work and if this would really solve our problem, our users do not want to use Sage 50 through a remote desktop...
