MYOB AccountEdge 2004 (v4) allows Mac OS X users to work with AccountEdge company files in a multi-user environment. It is essential to note, however, that Mac OS X networking is subject to some important restrictions. These restrictions vary, depending on which operating systems are in use on the networked users' computers, and on the "host" computer where your AccountEdge company file is located.
For complete information about using AccountEdge on networks that include Mac OS X, visit www.myob.com/us/products/accountedge/networking.htm.
To avoid possible irreparable damage to their AccountEdge company files, all networked users are urged to read and understand the limitations that apply to their specific network configurations.
Cross-platform networking with AccountEdge and MYOB Plus is only available to users hosting their MYOB company files on server editions of Windows NT, 2000 and 2003 with Macintosh Services installed. For complete information about using AccountEdge and MYOB Plus on networks, visit www.myob.com/us/products/accountedge/networking.htm.
To avoid possible irreparable damage to their company files, all networked users are urged to read and understand the limitations that apply to their specific network configurations.
If you attempt to fax a form or report from within AccountEdge, you will receive a message stating, "Faxing of reports and forms from AccountEdge is not available on Mac OS X. If you have FAXstf X installed, you can fax documents by printing to your Apple Internal Modem. For more on faxing, see the FAXstf X User's Guide."
To fax from within AccountEdge using OS X, you must first make sure that your Apple Internal Modem appears in the list of devices to which you can print. Then follow this procedure:
In Mac OS X, the default mail application will be set to Mail, unless the setting is changed by the user. If you are using AccountEdge with OS X and are using Mail as the default email application, you must be connected to your ISP in order to send mail. If you are not connected to your ISP, no email will be sent and you will not receive an error message.
If you are running AccountEdge in the Mac OS X environment and your default email application is a Classic application, both the Classic environment and the email application will be launched when you email from AccountEdge. The email will be placed in the mail application's outbox.
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 versions of these products are supported) when you use OfficeLink. 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, we recommend that you start the Classic environment before selecting an OfficeLink function.
If Microsoft Office v. X for Mac OS X is installed on Mac OS X system, OfficeLink will run in Mac OS X as described in your online and printed documentation.
