Awesome, thanks Jewels. Now why don¹t MYOB advertise that? Chris.

My understanding is that as long as the most current programs are being used (for Mac and Win) - these files will work on both pcs. This I have been told is the latest MYOB capability between the two PCs. In my own experience, I have put the Win MYOB file on the Mac, opened within MYOB and have gotten an identical file. The same applies the other way around (however, I personally have not had the need to transfer Mac to Win - but my accountant assures me it functions correctly on the Win) You do not need to change the extensions. Copy the latest Backup zip file, say on a thumb drive and place into PC and open again within MYOB. I do not know about the network versions, but would be surprised if they did not function in the same way. I hope this is helpful Cheers Jewels On 13/06/2010, at 10:59 AM, Christopher S wrote: > Hi All, > > Just doing some preliminary research into MYOB for a friend and was wondering > if anyone used newish versions of MYOB on both Mac and Windows there were > some older posts in the archives, which were good but applied to older > versions. > > So the questions I can¹t find good answers for are: > > Can the same MYOB data file be used in AccountRight(Win) and AccountEdge(Mac) > and if so does it just need an extension change or zipping etc? > > Does anyone know if the network versions of either AccountRight or > AccountEdge can be used with both Mac and Windows clients the manuals only > talk about clients from the same platform, they¹re not specific, surprise! > > I know nothing about accounting but does anyone send their MYOB files to an > accountant and if so is it just the data file that you send or do you do an > export? > > Thanks for any info on this as MYOB¹s site isn¹t too helpful and reviews seem > to overlook these details. > > Chris. > > > > > -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- > Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> > Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> > Unsubscribe - <mailto:[email protected]> > > -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Unsubscribe - <mailto:[email protected]> -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Unsubscribe - <mailto:[email protected]>
