Fri, 19 Sep 2008 09:10:24 +0000

Thanks to the team at First Class Accounts for passing on their experience with a downloaded update from MYOB.� Could have been due to the file becoming corrupted during the download process.

After�downloading and�installing the new MYOB from the internet (Accounting Plus V18 or Premier V12), someone�went to�shut down her computer and found it�would not reboot.��Looked like�the MYOB download had severely damaged her Registry.� The IT guy�repaired the problems, but not without 36 hours downtime on her system!!!� He said that hers was the second system that he had seen with similar problems after downloading the new MYOB!!

MYOB & Vista & Forms �

Mon, 12 May 2008 09:19:37 +0000

Today�s MYOB/Vista trick � logged onto my lapatop with a new user account that is NOT a domain administrator (trying to be all security conscious and the like).� Then MYOB v17 refused�to see my custom forms (incidentally, the business fie is on a shared�drive).

Log on as the old, domain admin user � no problem.

Turned out to�be file security (surprise).� By default, the local Users group (which contains the Domain Users group) does not give full control or modify access to the Forms directory and files.� Change this to allow full control to the forms, and hey presto, my non-domain admin user is now accessing branded invoices in MYOB once again!

Did I mention how well my laptop has been running since the Vista reinstallation?� Oh yeah, except I still haven�t tackled iTunes again�🙂

Here�s one that�s caught me out before .. and, as I didn�t reinstall the applications (hubby did) .. it snuck back in again.� Small business owners in Australia & New Zealand may be familiar with the MYOB suite of accounting/bookkeeping software.� It literally stands for Mind Your Own Business.� Well, Accounting Plus v17.0.0 (and some earlier versions) don�t play well with Microsoft Office 2007.� In particular, when you try to display a payroll advice, MYOB crashes with a �stopped working� error.� Very frustrating when you are trying to process the salary payments.� Even more frustrating when it�s your own salary you are trying to pay.
