To optimise a company file
If you haven't already read the Your Company File Overview, see Optimising company files for more information.
Please note that this task requires single-user access. See Single-user file locking for more information.
If you know the name of the company file and its location on your network, you're ready to begin.
- When you installed MYOB Accounting Plus, the Optimisation Assistant also was installed on your computer.
The Optimisation Assistant appears as an icon in the Accounting Plus folder in the Programs folder of your Start menu. Locate this icon, then select it to start the Data Optimisation Assistant.
- In the Welcome to the MYOB Accounting Plus Optimisation Assistant window, click the Next button to begin.
- In the window that appears next, click the Find File button. The Open File to Optimise dialog box appears.
The Open File to Optimise dialog box works exactly like other Find File dialog boxes do. Use it to locate the company file you want, highlight the file's name and click OK.
- Click Next.
- A window will appear, explaining the optimisation process. Read the information carefully and click Next when you're ready to begin optimising your company file.
- A window with the words "Optimisation Complete" in it will appear when your company file has been optimised. If you keep accounting records for more than one company and you wish to optimise another company file, click the Next button. Otherwise, click the Finish button to exit the Optimisation Assistant.
- Verify the company file to ensure it's in proper working condition.
