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

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.

Hi Jewels It was the guy at MYOB who said it was caused by Lion, I personally don't know what the cause is/was. Either way, it's their problem, not mine. Regards Peter On 01/05/2012, at 4:18 PM, Julie Bedford wrote: Hi Curtis, I have had the same problem since upgrading to the MYOB 9.6 - I

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

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

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

Hi Walter, Not sure if I can be of any use, but I use MYOB 9.6 for Mac and when I pass on to the accountant who uses PC, I give him a copy of the zipped version.. The accountant always uses the up to date copy of MYOB for PC and has no hassles opening, changing and then returning to me in

Dear Walter, My accountant told me I had to have Windows for MYOB so I ran it on Windows XP using Parallels Desktop. I now understand that if you send your accountant the data off your Mac it should be read by their copy of MYOB. Kind regards, Bob On 24/04/2012, at 3:32 PM, F.W. Hänel

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. Hänel wrote: Hi
