Just letting you know this method doesn't need to be repeated. Once you have correctly set up the short cut, nothing further needs to be changed.

Dear Liz, could you please then instruct me as to the correct way to setup the short cut?
I re-installed version 2026.4 just now. I opened my file to check the data was up to date.
Inside of a minute I received a message that the program had updated to 2026.5.
I do not want to upgrade the program as I then have to go through the previously described process of accessing my off line file. 
Regards Tony.

PS, now installed the server edition. Migrating my fund to BGL Simple Fund 360 as I have had it with MYOBs lack of support & care. I will also close down my online file in due course for the same reason.

    Hi Tony

    FYI if needed - the process is as follows:

    Uninstall the latest version. Download the previous version. Disconnect from the Internet and install this version. Change the update.EXE file name as per previous instructions on the forum. Reconnect the Internet and your shortcut should be on the desktop in order to open or restore the file in the correct version.
    Cheers
