myob

2008-09-23 Thread Martin Sulkowski

hi everyone
Is there someone who is using on Myob's the same company file  on  
more than one computer who are not linked (wireless or not  
wireless).I need to use
Myob on 2 seperate computers  who are in different locations.Myob  
told me that everytime I change something on one machine =doing  
backup and updating other computer.moving data back and forth , which  
is kind of ok.,the only thing is  , if I forget to do it  
which is likely to happenthere will be a mess.
Is there a way around this?Or is the option to use Myob on  
VMfusionware and use a windowsversion of Myob.


Thanks  for all the answers ...Martin

PS .Is there a fixed date for Wamug meetings in Perth and location?

Martin, rather than have the MYOB data file on two separate machines  
you could either have the data file/s on a mobile external hard drive  
or on your Dot Mac/MobileMe account.


You may even be able to have it on your iPhone?

Hi Martin

You could try using Dropbox http://www.getdropbox.com/ It will let
you synchronise your files across multiple computers. Looks good so
far only been using it for a week

But it should allow you to send the database file to two different
Macs keeping both files up to date at all times

2008-09-23 Thread Susan
Hi Martin, I'm using MYOBs AccountEdge on different computers. I just  
bring the data file across to the machine I'm currently working on -  
sometimes even email it to myself, and it works as normal. I'm not  
trying to sync it, of course, I just make sure I have the one with the  
latest updates with me. It could be on an external hard drive.


I'm not sure what the person meant when they said there 'will be a  
mess' - that just sounds silly. I've been doing this for years. The  
data file doesn't get corrupted by moving it to another machine.


cheers, Susan.

Martin,

If you had the same file open from two computers at the same time, and
made changes .. maybe there would be problems.

But as Susan says, if you makes changes on one computer, close it and
make changes on another, there shouldn't be an issue.
Our MYOB file is used on our Mac, goes to the book keeper for a
Windows holiday, comes back updated and back into service on our
computer again. No problems, the same file works on Windows and Mac.

But trying to use MYOB files in 'multi user' mode would be a different matter.

Glenn.

Re: myob (answer to susan and Glen)

2008-09-23 Thread Susan
Hi Martin, that would involve trying to merge them, and that's what  
would result in a mess - unless the file is on a central server which  
is accessible by the workshop and the office, and IS NOT BEING USED AT  
THE SAME TIME IN DIFFERENT PLACES.


In other words, the same file needs to be used in both cases, it won't  
work if they are using different files and then try to merge them.


cheers, Susan.

Re: myobanswer to Glenn

Hi Glen
is multi user mode that I do changes on different computers- at a  
different or same time - without updating the other one?So that  
basically both companyfiles need updating in different locations in  
their companyfile?

Re: I Cal

Hi Ronni,
Did the last step  altho it still won't work the warning pops up all the
time now: The Application I Cal has unexpectedly quit Mac OSX  other bla
blah.clicjk try again...
It popped up when I opened an external drive, popped up when I opened I

Any more ideas or perhaps you can tell me how to reload I Cal Ronni?

 Hi Ronni,
 
 iCal quitting can be caused by damaged preferences files. You could
 try this:
 These instructions are for iCal in Tiger NOT Leopard (Leopard iCal
 has
 a file different structure).
 
 Make a backup of your iCal calendars  (iCal File menu  Back up iCal)
 
 The problem is I Cal doesn't open I just get the message that it quit,
 before it opens? Got a lot of settings I really don't want to lose
 too...
 
 
 1. Quit iCal and all open programs
 
 
 So I can't follow this procedure, I guess anew version may be the
 only way
 but I can't find a version for 10.4.11
 
 a) Move these files in Home/Library/Preferences to the Trash:
 com.apple.iCal.alarmsCache.plist
 com.apple.iCal.AlarmScheduler.plist
 com.apple.iCal.helper.plist
 com.apple.iCal.plist
 
 2. Launch iCal
 
 
 Tried this, still won't open?
 
 Where to from here?
 
 Thanks Ronni,
 
 Best,
 
 Ken
 
 If that doesn't help, then the Apple Sync Services database may be
 damaged. Try replacing it:
 
 a) Make sure that nothing is syncing (Spanning Sync,.Mac, iSync)
 b) Move this folder to the trash: Home/Library/Application Support/
 SyncServices
 c) Restart your computer
 
 3. Open iCal and give it a few minutes to write out the new database.
 
 Ken,
 
 Did you do this part above ... (move the SyncServices folder to the
 trash etc) ... and restart your computer?
 If you have been syncing iCal and there is an event that clashes it
 can cause iCal to Quit.
 
 What had you just done or were doing when iCal Quit  wouldn't reopen?
 
 Have you tried if iCal will open in another User Account on your
 Computer?
 If iCal application opens fine in another user account you know for
 sure it is something wrong in your preferences, not the actual iCal
 Application.
 
 Cheers,
 Ronni
