Networking - important

Mac OS X does not support AccountEdge's file sharing, so you must operate in single user mode only. It is imperative that you do not attempt to share company files located on a Mac OS 8.6 or 9.x. If you run AccountEdge in multiuser mode, you run the risk of permanently corrupting your company file. In addition, you may not receive alert messages warning you that your company file may be corrupted beyond repair.

MYOB is continuing to work closely with Apple Computer to solve this problem. Be sure to check the Product Updates and News page on our website regularly for updates regarding Mac OS X and AccountEdge version 2.

Faxing

At the time of this release, Mac OS X did not provide support for faxing. The ability to fax sales and purchases will not be available for this release. If you attempt to fax, you will receive a message stating, "Unable to locate FaxPrint print driver that is part of FaxSTF fax software. Please make sure that it is installed in your extensions folder.

Email Behavior

In Mac OS X, the default mail program will be set to Mail, unless changed by the user. When running email from AccountEdge OS X, when Mail is the default email program, you must be connected to your ISP in order to send mail. If you are not connected to your ISP, no email is sent and no error message is received.

If you are running AccountEdge in the Mac OS X environment and your default email program is a Classic application, when you email from AccountEdge, both the Classic environment and the email program will be launched. The email will be placed in the mail program's outbox.

OfficeLink

If you don't have Microsoft Office v. X for Mac OS X, AccountEdge will attempt to launch Word or Excel in the Classic environment (both 2001 and 98 are supported) when you use an OfficeLink feature. If Classic is not running, AccountEdge will launch Classic and then launch the appropriate application. In some instances, users have experienced time outs when attempting to launch the Classic environment. If this occurs, it's recommended that you start the Classic environment prior to selecting an OfficeLink function.

The anticipated release date for Microsoft Office v. X for Mac OS X is November 2001. If this application is installed on Mac OS X system, OfficeLink should run in Mac OS X as described in your online and printed documentation.
