I'm not sure what you're looking for? It sounds like the networking issue is solved, right? Both places can see and access the file? Is the problem just the size of the file - it's too slow to work with comfortably? It seems to me that a 33 Meg quickbooks file might have some opportunity for trimming - for example could they archive records older than a certain date? Could they split the file up into more manageable, smaller, more focused files? There really isn't anything to do on the network (besides getting the remote person on broadband). Considering the size of the file it MIGHT be quicker to remote into a local computer to use it (via PC Anywhere or remote desktop connection). A dial-up should do that, but it's a continuous drag - if the connection is flakey it'll be frustrating as all hell (even with a good dial-up connection it may be too slow to be reasonable.
