There's lots of things you can print from AccountRight including invoices, reports and customer statements. In fact, there's not much you can't print. All you need is a printer and AccountRight does the rest.

Have you personalised your forms? When printing certain document types, like invoices, you'll be able to choose the form you want to use. You can also set a default form to print and email.

Printing a single document

Display what you want to print and click Print (usually at the top of the window).

For reports, the Print option is under the dropdown button in the top-left of the window.

Printing a batch of documents

There are some documents like invoices, purchase orders, statements and receipts which you can print in batches. This saves you from needing to open each document to print them one at a time.

titleWhich email programs work with AccountRight?

AccountRight supports Microsoft Outlook 2007 or later (32 bit only). If you use a web email service, such as Gmail, you can access and send emails for these services within Microsoft Outlook (via IMAP or POP). Your email provider will have instructions on how to set this up in Outlook.

titleHow do I set the default email address?

AccountRight sends emails using the default email address set up in Microsoft Outlook. If you have more than one email address in Outlook, here's how to set the default one:

  1. In Outlook go to File > Info > Account Settings > Account Settings.
  2. Click the Email tab.
  3. Select the email address you want to use, then click Set as Default.
  4. Click the Data Files tab and again select the email address you want to use then click Set as Default.

titleI get an "Error sending email" message

If you get an "Error sending email" message when emailing pay slips, make sure you are using the latest version of AccountRight. An issue was found in an earlier version of AccountRight and fixed in 2015.2.

This message can also appear when other software or your system settings stop the email being transferred from AccountRight to Outlook. This includes:

  • Windows permissions
  • Outlook security settings
  • Third party security software, such as antivirus
  • User Access Control settings

As the issue is outside AccountRight, it's difficult to know the exact cause. We recommend seeking help from an IT specialist or the MYOB community to find an appropriate fix.

titleHow do I resend a form I've already emailed?

If you need to resend a transaction, redisplay it and then click Send To from the transaction window. For example, to reprint a sale, find it in the Sales Register window and click the zoom arrow to display it in the Sales window. Then click Send To.

If you need to resend a few transactions look for the Print/Email...buttons in the relevant command centre. For example, to reprint a few sales, click Print/Email Invoices in the Sales command centre. If the transactions aren't listed in the Review... window, click Advanced Filters and deselect the Unprinted or Unsent Only option.

titleHow do I remove emails from the To Be Emailed tab?

If you need to remove emails from the To Be Emailed tab, there's two ways to do it:

  • If you only have a few emails to be removed, open each of the transactions and change the Delivery Status to Already Printed or Sent.
  • If you have lots of emails to be removed:
    1. Disconnect your computer from the internet
    2. In your software send the emails you want to remove from the To Be Emailed tab. Without an internet connection, it will only move them to the Outbox in Outlook.
    3. Delete the emails from the Outbox.
    4. Reconnect to the Internet.

titleHow do I make email the default delivery method?

You can set an option to make email the default delivery on each customer card. Go to the Selling Details tab of a customer card and set the Invoice Delivery field to To be Emailed. Note that if this option isn't available, it's likely you've selected the No Default or Miscellaneous sales layout type which is only used for recording adjustments.

You can also set a preference to email sales immediately after recording them. Go to the Sales Preferences (Setup menu > Preferences > Sales tab) and select the Automatically [Email] Sales When They are Recorded option.

titleWhy are fields missing on email attachments but appear correctly when printed?

Try making the field larger on your form. If a field in a customised form is too small, it might get missed when the form is converted to PDF to be emailed - even though the field might display when printed.To enlarge a field when you're customising a form, click and drag a corner of the box surrounding the field.

titleWhy do my emails include an attachment called "Winmail.dat"?

If Outlook is set up to compose emails in Rich Text Format, Outlook will sometimes attach a file called "Winmail.dat" to your emails.

To stop this, ensure Outlook is set up to compose emails in HTML or Plain Text. This setting is usually under the Mail settings in Outlook.

In Outlook 2010 and later: File > Options > Mail > Compose messages

In Outlook 2007: Tools > Options > Mail Format > Message Format

What if I'm having trouble printing?

If you're trying to print from AccountRight and nothing happens, or you get an error, there's a simple test to help identify your issue. It involves using Microsoft XPS Document Writer, a default Windows program which creates a file (like a PDF) of your document, instead of printing it.

Here's what to do:

  1. In AccountRight, click Print to try to print something.
  2. When prompted to choose a printer, choose Microsoft XPS Document Writer.

  3. Click Print. What happens?

    You're prompted to specify where to save the fileAccountRight is successfully sending the print job, but your printer can't process it.Go to the printer manufacturer's website and download the latest driver for your printer model and Windows version.
    Nothing happens, or an error displaysYour printing issue is likely caused by another program on your computer which is stopping the AccountRight print job from reaching your printer.

    You might need help from an IT person to fix your issue, as it might need some techy investigation.

    Try temporarily disabling all antivirus and security software on your computer, then try to print again. If printing works, it means your issue is with the disabled program. Also try shutting down any other open programs (except AccountRight) to see if this identifies which program is interfering with the print job.
