Re: MYOB Premier to AccountEdge?

2006-11-24 Thread Alex 

Hi Wamugians

One thing to be aware of is that AccountEdge requires the data file to 
be on a hard drive that does not belong to any of the users' Macs (this 
is different to Premier where it can reside on a user's machine).  
Therefore 3 users require 4 Macs.  The data file is cross platform 
compatible and only needs the Windows extension of .MYO to be included 
in the file name to be openable by the Win programme.  There is no 
upgrade that takes place.  There is no known way of migrating the 
customised invoices etc to the Mac or vice versa.


I have seen an email this evening which claims that MYOB will be 
selling AccountEdge as a single user programme only in future but have 
not been able to confirm this yet.  They would of course honour Premier 
to AccountEdge multiuser migrations.


Cheers,  Alex

When I switched to Account Edge, I just opened up the existing file 
... there was some kind of automated upgrade that took place, but 
after that the file is still readable on Mac and Windows.


Customised forms didn't make the conversion - so invoices that were 
setup as form layouts had to be rebuilt.  Perhaps an expert could have 
migrated these.
The functionality is basically the same - book-keepers who haven't 
used Account Edge before just sit down and use it.

We currently run Premier MYOB on the PC.  Can I import the file into 
AccountEdge on the Mac?  Are there a lot of things we lose in the 
process?  Are Premier and AccountEdge quite close in features?


MYOB themselves don't seem to be a lot of help at the moment :-(

Microsoft have abandoned WMV for Mac, and now suggest Flip4Mac instead.
