Hi kd175, 

 

You’re right – v19 will always feel snappier. The newer AccountRight is doing a lot more in the background (SQL database, online services, etc.), so it’s never going to be quite as quick as v19, especially when it’s running in Windows on Parallels on a Mac.

On the offline side, the old Work Offline (Check Out) / Work Online (Check In) option has basically been retired in the current versions. The supported way to work offline now is:

  • Take a backup of the online file.
  • Restore that backup to your local library and work in that local copy.
  • When you’re finished, upload that local file back online to replace the old one.

There isn’t a “set and forget” auto‑sync offline mode anymore; it’s a manual backup/restore/upload process each time.

 

Regards,
Genreve
