Online company files

Online company files are stored in the online library. But you can synchronise a copy of your online file to your computer. For more information, see Working online.

Want to delete or rename a file that’s in My Library?

Open the My Documents\MYOB\My AccountRight files folder location in Windows Explorer (or the folder where your library is located) and make your changes.

1. Go to the Windows Start menu and open the MYOB AccountRight program folder.
2. Open the Tools subfolder, and click Set Library Location. A message appears to close all applications, including AccountRight.
3. Click OK. The Set library location window appears.
4. Click Browse and navigate to the folder you want to use as your library.
5. Select the folder and then click OK. The Set library location window reappears.
6. Click Set Location. A message appears reminding you that the new library location must be on a local drive.
7. Click OK.
8. If you haven’t already done so, use Windows Explorer to move the company files to the new library location.

Before you do this, check that AccountRight Server Edition is installed on the computer you want to connect to (available from my.MYOB website: Australia | New Zealand) and find out the computer’s network address. This could be the computer name you see in Windows when browsing your network (e.g. John’s Computer), or the computer’s IP address (e.g. 192.168.0.5).

1. In the Library Browser window, click Network Libraries.
2. Click Add a network library. The Add a network library window appears.
3. Enter a name for the computer the library is on. For example, type John’s library.
4. Enter the IP address of the computer, or the name of the computer where the library is. For example, type 192.168.0.5 or John’s computer.
5. If you can’t use the default port number for this connection, click Advanced and enter the port number you want to use.
6. Click OK. The library now appears in the list.
7. Continue to open or save the file as required.
