Hi Alex,
Does this mean that the data file is single user, but two people can
share the same file at the same time? Or one has to quit before the
other can use it? If both can share at the same time, this would
eliminate the need to parallels!

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

Rod,
Just did this conversion recently.
All your data is retained. The file format is readable by Mac and
PC, so I just send off my data file to my accountant, and they
load it up under Windows.
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.
Regards,
Glenn.

Hi All!
Big question here, as I have to opportunity to swap out all our
PCs at work to Macs :-)
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 :-(
