User ID

In MYOB Accounting Plus, user IDs keep track of the actions of each person, or user, who performs tasks that affect your company file. Whenever a user adds or changes transactions in a company file, that person's user ID will be attached to the information that was added or changed. This allows you to quickly see who's been changing your company's file.

Enter the user ID by which you want to be identified in this company file.

Password

MYOB Accounting Plus's password-security system prevents the unauthorised use of company files. Passwords can be set up to keep people from using specific parts of the MYOB Accounting Plus system, or even from the entire system.

If this company file has had passwords set up for it already, enter a valid password in this field to open the company file. (The person who set up your company file - your system administrator - will know the valid passwords for the company file.) If this company file isn't protected by a password-security system, you don't need to make an entry here.

Multi-user Access

Be sure this option is selected if you want other users to be able to use the company file while you're using it.

Single-user Access

Choose this option if you wish to activate single-user file locking for the company file. You might want to choose this option if you plan on performing an MYOB Accounting Plus task that requires that you're the only person using the company file while the task is being performed.

Selected Protocol

Choose the network protocol you wish to use while working with this MYOB Accounting Plus company file. (Everyone who is using this company file at the same time must select the same protocol.) The protocols that appear in this list are those that are compatible with MYOB Accounting Plus; they may or may not be installed on your workstation.

If you're unsure about which protocols are installed on your workstation, consult your system administrator. For more information about network protocols and how they work with MYOB Accounting Plus, consult the Networking with MYOB Accounting Plus Overview.

This field appears only if you choose the Multi-user Access selection.
