To prepare to upgrade a company file for network use

 

Mac OS X Users - IMPORTANT!

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

  1. MYOB AccountEdge 2005 has been installed on each workstation where AccountEdge will be used. If you need to install AccountEdge 2005, follow the instructions in your Implementation Guide to do this.


    Note:  You do not need to upgrade if you've been using MYOB AccountEdge 2005
    Note:  If you've used MYOB software older than MYOB AccountEdge v4
    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 using the host computer
  1. When AccountEdge has been installed on all workstations, be sure you know on which computer your company file is currently located.


  2. Choose the computer where your AccountEdge 2005 company file will be located. This computer -- 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 computer you chose in the previous step, copy the company file to that computer.


  2. Once the company file is on the 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.
