Setup

To prepare to upgrade a company file for network use

 

Note:  MYOB AccountEdge works only in a peer-to-peer network environment

Before you begin to upgrade your company file, you should be sure that the following conditions exist:

  1. MYOB AccountEdge 2006 has been installed on each workstation where AccountEdge will be used. If you need to install AccountEdge 2006, follow the instructions in your Getting Started manual (AccountEdge) or Implementation Guide (Network Edition).


    Notes:
    If you've been using MYOB AccountEdge 2006 and will now use Network Edition

    If you've been using MYOB software previous to MYOB AccountEdge 2004 v4 and are upgrading to Network Edition
    When you're installing the product, keep in mind that it must be installed on the computer you plan to use to upgrade your company file.
    Note:  Upgrade to Network Edition using the host computer
  1. When AccountEdge has been installed on all workstations, be sure you know on which workstation (AccountEdge)/computer (Network Edition) your company file is currently located.


  2. Choose the workstation/computer where your AccountEdge 2006 company file will be located. The workstation/computer you choose -- for Network Edition, called your host computer -- must be accessible to all AccountEdge users after you've upgraded the file.


    Note:  Plan the best location for your company file
  1. If your current company file isn't located on the workstation/computer you chose in the previous step, copy the company file to that workstation/computer.


  2. Once the company file is on the proper workstation/host computer, be sure you know the exact location of the company file (for example, Macintosh HD:MYOBAccountEdge) so you can find it easily when you upgrade. Use the Finder to see the exact location of the company file.


  3. Finally, check to see that all workstations have full (read/write) access to the location you choose; in other words, be sure that all workstations are allowed to make changes to files within the location you select.
