If you've used an MYOB product in the past, thank you for upgrading to MYOB Accounting Plus! We're sure you'll enjoy Accounting Plus's ease of use, coupled with the power and flexibility of network computing.
Note: A refresher course on company files
If you've been using MYOB products for some time now, you should be familiar with the concept of the Accounting Plus company file. Just in case you need to refresh your memory, though, here's a short definition: |
Before you begin using Accounting Plus with your existing data, you need to perform a simple procedure on your company files called upgrading. Upgrading creates a new file using the information in your existing company file, which was created and maintained with your previous MYOB product, so it can be used with the most recent version of Accounting Plus. The upgrade process usually takes only a few minutes; large company files, however, may take an hour or more.
When you upgrade your file to Accounting Plus Version 11, your original company file remains in your system in its original location. The upgraded file -- which can be used with Accounting Plus Version 11 -- will be in a location you specify during the upgrading process.
If you're using Accounting Plus on a peer-to-peer network, your company file is in a location that can be accessed by all workstations. Since all users are accessing the same company file, you'll need to upgrade the company file (and any other company files you may have created) only once. We recommend that the Upgrade Assistant be run on the workstation where the company file is located.
