Answer

This applies to QuickBooks 6 and 99. To manually install the patch on other computers on the network: 1) Find the "Inet" folder in the directory where your data file is stored. 2) Open that folder from one of the machines that needs updating. 3) Double-click on the file named "qbupdate.bat". 4) You should see a dialog box that says it's updating the QuickBooks application on the local machine.
