- When you installed MYOB BusinessBasics, the Optimization Assistant also was installed on your computer.
The Optimization Assistant appears as an icon in the BusinessBasics folder in the Programs folder of your Start menu. Locate this icon, then select it to start the Data Optimization Assistant.
- In the Welcome to the MYOB BusinessBasics Optimization Assistant window, click the Next button to begin.
- In the window that appears next, click the Find File button. The Open File to Optimize dialog box appears.
The Open File to Optimize dialog box works exactly like other Find File dialog boxes do. Use it to locate the company file you want, highlight the file's name and click OK.
- Click Next.
- A window will appear, explaining the optimization process. Read the information carefully and click Next when you're ready to begin optimizing your company file.
- A window with the words "Optimization Complete" in it will appear when your company file has been optimized. If you keep accounting records for more than one company and you wish to optimize another company file, click the Next button. Otherwise, click the Finish button to exit the Optimization Assistant.
- Verify the company file to ensure it's in proper working condition.
