Sharing a company file with other users

Working with Your Company File on a Network Overview > Sharing a company file with other users

When two or more people use Accounting Plus simultaneously to keep accounting records for your company, they all access the same company file at the same time. This means that two or more users might be entering sales, writing cheques, creating customer cards, and so on, at the same time.

Accounting Plus uses a special function, called file locking, that makes it possible for more than one user to enter information in the same company file at the same time. File locking is one of many features built in to MYOB software that allow you and your coworkers to work together in Accounting Plus. The sections in this chapter describe some Accounting Plus features that are activated when more than one person is using the same company file at the same time; we suggest that you spend a few minutes to read this information carefully.
