AccountRight Log Locations

[Haydes]

Product: AccountRight 2018 and above

There are 4 main Log Files that MYOB Support might look into, these are:

• The Diagnostic Log - The is a background log file that keeps track of what the software is doing
• The Migration Log - This is the log is created when you upgrade from V19 to 2019 to keep track of errors
• The Import Log - The log created whenever you import data to keep track of what records had problems
• The Error Log - This log is created whenever you get a "Something's gone wrong" error

These are found in different locations on the computer, it can help to have the Log ready before posting on the Forum to save any extra time later to post again when requested.

AccountRight logs the basics on what you do, if there are any problems the software is designed to write all exceptions into the Diagnostic Log. This can be extremely helpful to figure out why the software is behaving the way it is.

The Migration Log is created whenever an AccountRight Classic (v19 or below) has been upgraded to the new AccountRight offline.
