Apps4Rent Can Help with Remote QuickBooks Desktop Access
While Online Check Writer is a cloud-based solution, the application has to be installed on the machine running QuickBooks Desktop. Consequently, users need to have physical access to the machine to make changes in the settings even if they have to print checks remotely. This shortcoming can be overcome by installing QuickBooks Desktop along with its integrations, such as OCW on virtual desktops.
