Hi kirra,
Thanks for your response and I'm sorry to hear about your difficulties.
Before you can upgrade the file to the latest version of AccountRight you will need to upgrade the file first to AccountRight V19 (Which I believe you already done). If you haven't set the Administrator password for your file. The default password is blank.
UserID: Administrator
Password:
The process is as follows.
BusinessBasics > AccountRight V19 > AccountRight Desktop Edition > Business Lite.
Let us know if you are still having difficulties and we'll help further.
Thanks,

Hi Genreve
I am trying to upgrade my Co File before I sign up for a subscription to make sure it will work.
I dowloaded the Myob AR as per the link you sent (photo attached)
I can't use the "Open a Co file" as my file is .dat and it will open only .myox files
So I am trying to use the option "Upgrade Co file'
I managed to go through the user Id and password as per your msg, then I signed in but after I clicked "upload" I got an error msg.
Can I send you the Errorlog through here ??
What else should I try ??
I don't want pay for a subscription if I am not sure if I will be able to use my current Co file
Thank you
Hi kirra,
Thanks for your response.
In my understanding, you don't need to upload the file at this stage. Instead, you need to convert the file to a myox file (the file is successfully converted to a myox file if you successfully opened the file in AccountRight 2023.11). If the file is converted to myox you can then fill out the form (you need to have an active subscription of business lite before filling out the form).
Feel free to let us know if you require any clarifications or assistance.
Thanks,

Hi Genreve_S
The question by Kirra doesnt seem to have been resolved. It was, how do you open or convert your current Business Basics v1 .dat file in the new accountright software? This asks for a myox file while doing the inital setup, and wont progress without it.
Hey Raziel1972,
You’ll need to do first is upgrade your existing BusinessBasics v1 .dat file into AccountRight v19 on your computer (the local version), which will convert that old file format for you. Once you’ve got it upgraded, you’ll then be able to open that upgraded file in the latest AccountRight Live and continue on from there, so you’re not stuck at that setup screen asking for a .myox file.
Cheers,
Doreen
Hi Kirra
Did you find a way to use the .Dat file? Im having the same issues as you and all the online help is useless AI.
