Hi:  We have a firm where there are a number of people, but only 2 of us prepare returns.  The firm has a general server with a public network to between all  workstations for documents etc, but we want to network the ATX tax program to be shared only between the 2 of us (for preparation and giving access to the other person for review).  We don't want anyone else in the firm to be able to access the ATX program.  Which of the 3 network install options should we use:  (1) Server Only (choose "if you will use this machine only as a server to share client data with workstations"); (2) Workstation Only (choose "if preparing returns on this machine and need to connect to a server to access shared client data); or, (3) Workstation and Server (choose "if preparing returns on this machine and this machine will act as the server to share client data with other workstations).

Thanks very much!

You could still put the ATX server on your server and only install ATX on the two computers that access it. They would be installed as workstation only.

Or you could install the ATX server on one of the two computers and share the database folder to the other user. In which case the server computer would be Server/Workstation and the other computer would be workstation only.
