If you've used an MYOB product in the past, thank you for upgrading to MYOB Accounting! We're sure you'll enjoy Accounting's ease of use, coupled with the power and flexibility of network computing.
Before you begin using Accounting with an existing company file, you need to perform a simple procedure called upgrading. Upgrading creates a new file using the information in your existing company file, which was created and maintained with your previous MYOB product, so it can be used with the most recent version of Accounting.
Note: Company file concepts
Accounting Plus Only:
When you upgrade your file to Accounting Version 16, your original company file remains in your system in its original location. The upgraded file -- which can be used with Accounting Version 16 -- will be in a location you specify during the upgrading process.
If you're using Accounting on a peer-to-peer network, your company file is in a location that can be accessed by all workstations. Since all users are accessing the same company file, you'll need to upgrade the company file (and any other company files you may have created) only once. You should run the Upgrade Assistant on the workstation where the company file is located.
After your company file is upgraded, you can also upgrade your custom forms, custom reports, letters and spreadsheets to your Accounting Version 16 folders using the Forms Upgrade Assistant. You can find the Forms Upgrade Assistant by selecting Start > Programs > MYOB Accounting Version 16 > MYOB Tools > MYOB Accounting Version 16 Forms Upgrade Assistant.
