MYOB AccountEdge Network Edition 2005 allows Mac OS X users to work with AccountEdge company files in a multi-user environment. It is essential to note, however, that AccountEdge requires that you start the FileConnect system preference on the host computer where your AccountEdge company file is located. If you do not start FileConnect, the other computers on the network will not be able to access your company file.
In addition, if you have upgraded to AccountEdge Network Edition from a previous MYOB product, you may be required to upgrade your company files, as well. You will also need to move your company files to a specific location in the host computer's file system.
For complete information about these topics, please refer to the Implementation Guide that was included in your AccountEdge package.
To avoid possible irreparable damage to their AccountEdge company files, all networked users are urged to read and understand the limitations that apply to their specific network configurations.
If you attempt to fax a form or report from within AccountEdge, you will receive a message stating, "Faxing of reports and forms from AccountEdge is not available on Mac OS. X'
To fax from within AccountEdge using OS X, depending upon which version of Mac OS X you are using, you can either fax by using Mac OS X's built in faxing that you can access from the print dialog or by using FAXstf X which is bundled with some versions of Mac OS X.
If you have FAXstf X installed, you can fax documents by printing to your Apple Internal Modem. For more on faxing, see the FAXstf X User's Guide.
In Mac OS X, the default mail program will be set to Mail, unless you change the setting. Depending upon what version of Mac OS X and Mail you are using, you may need to be connected to the internet while emailing forms from within AccountEdge. If you are not connected to your ISP, no email will be sent and you will not receive an error message.
If you don't have Microsoft Office v.X for Mac OS X, AccountEdge will attempt to launch Word or Excel in the Classic environment (both 2001 and 98 versions of these products are supported) when you use OfficeLink. If Classic is not running, AccountEdge will launch Classic and then launch the appropriate application. In some instances, users have experienced time-outs when attempting to launch the Classic environment. If this occurs, we recommend that you start the Classic environment before selecting an OfficeLink function.
If Microsoft Office v. X for Mac OS X is installed on Mac OS X system, OfficeLink will run in Mac OS X as described in your online and printed documentation. Check the Product Updates News page on our website regularly for information about OfficeLink and Mac OS X.
