For quickbooks pro 2007 can I just have the data files on a shared hdd? Or do I need to install that whole host software thing on the hdd that has the files. I have quickbooks installed on all the computers that will be using it but I am wondering can I install it on a networked hard drive. or do I need the whole thing?

Yes you can. The file you will want to put on the share will have a .qbw extension. Then map that share to each user who will use Quickbooks.
You didn't say whether or not you have a multi-user version of Quickbooks or not...which you will need in order for more than one person at a time being able to access it.
