To move a data file


Warning: Moving a data file might cause problems for other usersIf you’re using MYOB Accounting Plus on a network, don’t forget that other users might need to access the data file you plan to move. You may need to change access and sharing settings for the new location to ensure that all your coworkers can continue to work with your data file.

Also, if you move a data file, the custom reports that you’ve created for the data file will no longer be available unless you also move the reports to the new location. We suggest that you copy the current CUSTOM folder that exists in the location where the data file is currently stored and paste the folder into the new location.

When exiting Accounting Plus in the first step of this procedure, be sure no other users are currently working with the data file you wish to move.

  1. Exit MYOB Accounting Plus.
  2. Open Windows Explorer.
  3. Open the folder containing the file you want to move (probably the MYOB Accounting Plus folder). A list of the files in that folder appears.
  4. Drag the icon of the data file you want to move to the folder you want to move it to. Your data file is placed in that folder.
