Failed to download my data file to online
I currently use our accountright on a server with multiple computers. I am trying to put our data file online because of the STP 2 reporting. I am on the server - no other computers running - al...

Yes it has worked - backed up the local file but this time restored it online.
When STP reporting comes in I am only going to report online every 2 weeks for STP only and will continue to keep entering our daily work activities on the local file.
Can I just report STP online and still do all other work entries on the local file - Does MYOB have a way that the 2 files local and online sync each other or do I have to restore every time.
Hi RyanMH
Thank you for the update, I'm glad to hear you've successfully restored the file online.
With STP2 the company file does need to be online in order to access it. The online files and local files do not sync to each other, so while not recommended, backing up & restoring the local file online when needed would be the way to go so you can work locally and use STP2 as well.
If you have any further questions please feel free to let us know.
Hi RyanMH
As mentioned by Clover, going backwards and forwards or offline online offine is bound to be problematic and not recommended. Doable if you are the only user, otherwise you will start losing transactions. An each time you restore online you risk connection errors, as you had before, esp if your file is larger. I would recommend you leave the file online, if this is not your preferred option, look at using something like STP Creator for STP reporting. This program works with offline MYOB files (all versions).
