Where is the information stored? When RTG Bills and RTG Timer are on a network, they both get clients, matters, timekeepers, and codes from the RTG Bills database.
RTG Bills stores fees and expenses in the RTG Bills database. RTG Timer stores fees and expenses in the RTG Timer database.

Before you can bill the fees and expenses that you entered into RTG Timer, you must release them from Timer. Once released, they are stored in the RTG Bills database and they will appear on your client bills.

If you use RTG Timer on a home PC or a notebook PC, you won't have access to the RTG Bills database. You can copy the clients, matters, timekeepers, and codes from the RTG Bills database to the RTG Timer database. You can use a USB flash drive or a temporary network connection. Or you can send the data as an e-mail attachment.
This is called standalone operation of RTG Timer.

During standalone operation, RTG Timer releases fees and expenses by writing them into a file, Timer.xfr.
RTG Bills reads this file and saves the fees and expenses in the RTG Bills database, just as if they had been entered directly into RTG Bills.

Sometimes only one PC runs RTG Bills. That PC is used to set up clients and matters, enter payments, and print bills.
However, you can run RTG Bills on more than one PC. Several users can work at the same time.
There are some restrictions. For example, two people cannot edit the same matter. RTG Bills will detect conflicts and tell you about them.
