Maintenance

Causes and precautions


 

Interruptions to your computer due to a power failure, a power surge or a user's having mistakenly turned off the workstation can damage a company file.

If you experience an interruption, you should use the MYOB AccountEdge Optimization Assistant to optimize your company file as a safeguard. Although the Optimization Assistant is designed to make your company file more efficient, it also is capable of fixing certain types of company file corruption. We recommend that you use the Optimization Assistant regularly to keep your company file operating at its peak.

You can find the MYOB AccountEdge Optimization Assistant in the MYOB AccountEdge folder that was created on your hard disk when you installed AccountEdge.

If you're able to optimize the file without errors, you should then use the MYOB AccountEdge Data Verification Utility to be sure your company file is in its "healthiest" form. You can find the Verify Company File command under the File menu when you're working with AccountEdge. For more information about optimizing and verifying your company file, see Your company file.
