To change the name of your company file

If you haven't already read the Your Company File Overview, see Changing the names of company files for more information.

Warning: Changing the name of a company file may cause problems for other users

If you're using MYOB Accounting Plus on a network, don't forget that other users might need to access the company file whose name you plan to change. With this in mind, there are two things you should remember:

If others are using the company file, you should wait until they've closed the company file before you attempt to rename it. Renaming a company file while others are using it could damage the company file.

If necessary, remember to inform other users of the company file's name change. They'll need to know the new name of the company file if they want to open it in the future.

  1. Exit MYOB Accounting Plus.
  2. Using Windows Explorer, click once on the company file you want to rename.
  3. Select Rename from the File menu.
  4. Enter the new name you want to use for the file and then press enter. The new name is assigned to the file.
