Double Quit
Double Quit helps you quit Big Business Client when it is disconnected from Server.
Still, you may need to Force Quit or End Task on your Big Business Client. New Networking allows it to remain "connected" during Sleep. If your computer wakes and Big Business Server has been offline or the network has changed, it may be unresponsive.
Double Quit works when you Big Business Client is responsive but cancels your instruction to Quit because there are unsaved records. Double Quit lets you quit again.
Remember Server
Remember Server lets you choose for all Clients or your Client how to connect, or not.
To start Big Business Client will search on your local network for Big Business Server. Once you connect, it will remember the Server and connect again automatically, faster.
You can override this in Company Prefs for all Clients, or My Prefs for your Client to support multiple locations, multiple servers, or any custom configuration for security.
Connect Options
