Hi Fie3​
Simply put - all the advantages you think you have with remaining offline disappear when you put the file online.
Probably one of the longest standing Partner in the use of Terminal Server - since 1998 when it was WinFrame - terminal Server only came out with Server 2000 - the advantages/disadvantages have disappeared with the internet and high speed NBN - AR 2025.11 comes packed with so many more features when you go online that it is difficult to argue the reason to stay offline.
All of my clients are now online and I recently converted a client to XERO and took their file offline and stored so that it could be opened at anytime - all the attached receipts had vanished - available only when online.
If your TS goes down or is inaccessible - MYOB remains available from your laptop - full featured.
I am actually trying hard to find a reason to stay offline - actually one of my very big clients that had their file reposited on our cloud terminal server - MYOB kept crashing - and MYOB had no answers for this - none - it was also connected to my 3rd party backend software running the API - all problems vanished instantly, overnight with a trial upload of the file to online.
So. in summary - go online!!
