To create a new company file while using AccountEdge

An MYOB AccountEdge company file must be open.

1. Choose New from the File menu.



2. An alert message may ask if you want to back up the current company file. If you choose Yes, AccountEdge begins the backup process. (Backing up company files.)



3. When your backup option is complete, the current company file closes and the first step in the AccountEdge New Company File Assistant appears.



4. Follow the steps that appear on your computer screen. If you need more information about what to enter while using the New Company File Assistant, be sure to click the Help button at the bottom of each window in the Assistant.



5. When you've completed all the steps in the New Company File Assistant, your new company file will be created, and you'll be ready to set up your company's records in the company file.

• Click the Setup Assistant button if you're ready to set up your company's records now. You can use the Easy Setup Assistant to walk you through the major setup tasks you need to perform.

• Click Command Center if you wish to set up your records at a later time.
