Re: MYOB datafile question
Hi Being a MYOB user since the early 80's, I was dismayed the other week to find a problem with the internet re-registering of the program. Every so often (about 4 months I think) the program needs to contact head office via the internet to prove that it's legal, or alternatively I believe you can telephone to do it. I was doing my bit with the accounts of a social/service club when the program decided that the re-registration was not approved, and I had to phone MYOB to sort things out. This was (at the time) impossible, let alone inconvenient, even later having to track down receipts, code numbers etc. when not expecting to have to do so again. Then going through the process of telephoning MYOB, going through many and various voice prompts and finally waiting to talk to a real person. He did fix the problem immediately with full apologies, something to do with the introduction of Lion he said, and would probably happen once more in four months time (I think) I know it's not the fault of the person on the line, but he is my only contact! I told him that I wasn't satisfied with the situation. If they had a problem with the re-registration then it was their problem, not mine, and should have made it open slather to all in sundry until they fixed their problem. Not inconvenience every one their own customers. I told him that by the time I next had to register via telephone call I would probably have transferred my accounting program. As it was, I was already playing around with another accounting program and I am now in full change mode. The fact that for reasons beyond your own control, you can lose access to a program that you have purchased, let alone the data you have produced, is just not good enough. I will make sure that any other programs I buy will NOT be continuing registration ones. Regards Peter p.s. I always buy the programs that I use! But having had my fingers burnt on a few occasions, like to trial first. Any program I look at has this facility available. That's my rant anyway! On 01/05/2012, at 6:04 AM, F.W.

Re: MYOB datafile question
Hi Curtis, I have had the same problem since upgrading to the MYOB 9.6 - I have over the past few years had to call in to re-register and I am still using Leopard, so I doubt if it has anything to do with the fact you are using Lion. It would appear, as you say, a problem of their making.

Re: MYOB datafile question
Hi again Walter Your accountant only needs to get it (if he hasn't already got it) if you decide to upgrade to AE v11. If you are happy with v7, then just stick with it. He quite likely has Accounting Plus/Premier v17 which can access your data file. There may come a time when the accountant will say you gave to upgrade. Cheers, Alex On 01/05/2012, at 6:04 AM, F.W.

Alex, I have clients who use MYOB for PC, whereas I use MYOB for Mac. At the moment, there is no problem opening the files backwards and forwards after completing their bookkeeping requirements. However, I understand that with the new version of MYOB for Mac V11, you can no longer do this ? If so, what would someone in my position have to do in order to continue to be able to share files ?

Re: MYOB datafile question
Hi Jewels If you are not already a Partner with MYOB, as Bookkeeper or Certified Consultant, the I would suggest that you become one. As a Bookkeeping Partner, the cost is not onerous I am fairly certain that you get access to the latest releases as they are released. You also get priority phone support amongst other benefits. Certified Consultant is more expensive but still not onerous if you are running a business.

Re: MYOB datafile question
Hi Walter The latest version of AccountEdge, v11, is not compatible with any Windows version of MYOB AccountRight. The cross platform compatibility ended with AE v9.x / AR v19.x. However, MYOB have provided a Windows programme, AccountEdge Partner Edition v11, for their partners, ie accountants consultants, which allows them to access their clients' Mac data files if they do not have a Mac themselves.

Re: MYOB datafile question
Hi Walter, Yes; I just send mine as a data file and my accountant can open it and modify/amend it. He might have some MYOB software at his office which lets him do this, but I don't know. Also other accountants can do the same. Regards Darrel On 24/04/2012, at 3:32 PM, F.W.
