As we approach the end of the 2010 financial year, you need to roll over your MYOB data file, to at least 30 June 2009, so you can access reports and data for the 2010/2011 financial year.

We would love to help you with this, but it is also something that you can do yourself.

Before you do anything make a back-up.  I will take the opportunity to mention a great product Carbonite for backing up your entire PC. 

Now make an extra back-up and store it separately, in your fire safe, or at home, away from the office.

Put the MYOB data file on the local PC, typically C:Drive.  If you do it over the network, it will take an extra long time, and there is a possibility it will crash.

Turn off your screen saver.

Close all other programs.

Start the roll over.  The process can take between 5 minutes and 90 minutes, so make sure you have some non-computer based work to do.  I find that just moving the mouse a little every few minutes helps, but I am not sure if this is my own personal old wives tale!

After you have finished remember to put the MYOB data file back where it is normally located and turn on the screen saver.
