To upgrade custom forms and reports created in a previous version

If you've created custom forms or custom reports using a previous MYOB product, those documents won't be copied to your MYOB FirstEdge v3 folder when you upgrade your company file for use with FirstEdge. If you want to use these documents, you'll have to copy those forms yourself, using the Finder.

Custom forms and custom reports created in previous versions of FirstEdge are stored in folders located inside your MYOB folder. (This is the folder that contains your FirstEdge program icon).

In the folder containing the previous MYOB product, look for the folders called FORMS (for custom forms) and CUSTOM (for custom reports). Copy the files in the previous versions's folder to the folder of the same name in the current version.

• Copy only your custom files from the previous version's folder and add them to the files included in the current versions's folder. When you do this, the standard files in the current version's folder will remain.

• Copy all of the files -- custom and standard -- in the previous version's folder. When you add these files into the current version's folder, all of the files in the current version's folder will be overwritten. When you do this, be aware that the standard files will be the files that were available in the previous version.

Important:  In some instances, custom reports created in an earlier version of FirstEdge will not work. You may have to recustomize them in your upgraded software package.

If you're unfamiliar with the Finder and you need more detailed information about copying and pasting files, consult the documentation that accompanied your computer.
