To move a company file

If you haven't already read the Your Company File Overview, See Changing the location of company files on your computer for more information.

Warning: Moving a company file might 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 you plan to move. You may need to change access and sharing settings for the new location to ensure that all your coworkers can continue to work with your company file.

Also, if you move a company file, the custom reports and forms that you've created for the company file will no longer be available unless you also move the reports to the new location. We suggest that you copy the current CUSTOM and FORMS folders that exists in the location where the company file is currently stored and paste the folder into the new location.

When exiting Accounting Plus in the first step of this procedure, be sure no other users are currently working with the company file you wish to move.

  1. Exit MYOB Accounting Plus.
  2. Open Windows Explorer.
  3. Open the folder containing the file you want to move (probably the MYOB Accounting Plus folder). A list of the files in that folder appears.
  4. Drag the icon of the company file you want to move to the folder you want to move it to. Your company file is placed in that folder.
