    Already using the new, online-enabled, AccountRight? This topic is for company files being upgraded from the older AccountRight v19 version. So if your company file is a .myox file, it means you're already using the new AccountRight. So all you need to do is install the latest AccountRight version, then open your company file and you'll be prompted to upgrade.

    Need some help finding your AccountRight Classic (v19 or earlier) company file to be upgraded? Here's some tips.

    Use the Windows search tool to find your file

    The quickest way to find your AccountRight company files or backups is to use the Windows search tool on your computer.

    Keep an eye out for files with a .myo file extension (the 3-letters after the dot at the end of a file's name). This is the file extension for AccountRight v19 files, such as My Company File.myo. Some older software versions might have a .prm or .dat file extension:

    .dat (BusinessBasics v1, Accounting/Accounting Plus v14 or earlier)

    MyCompany.prm

    MyCompany.dat

    Note that you'll need to restore a backed up file before you can upgrade it. See the restoring your file help topic: Australia | New Zealand.
