If you are using AR desktop version with live data files.
Make sure you have the AR icon on your desktop. Dbl click the icon and log in to the first account.
Repeat the process from the icon for the subsequent data file.
Doing it any other way will just replace the first one.
OR - Login to the app.myob.com version and on the top right - Switch between companies. NB: The accounts need to be linked to the same login.
Hi, I finally managed to come up with a convoluted solution to open multiple data files at the same time.
> Open up the first data file you want to work in
> Then double click on the desktop MYOB Icon
> Click on "Open a Company File" tab
> Click on "Online" tab
> Click on "Sign Out of Company File" you are currently in
> Click on "My Library" tab, then click on "Online" tab again to get the "Sign in to MYOB" screen pop up
> Type in credentials of the second data file
> Click Open when the second data file shows up on screen
You should now have 2 data files open at the same time, this does work for 3 data files also.
Hope this helps.
Would love it if we could go back to just clicking on the MYOB icon to open multiple files like we could a month or so ago.

WOOHOO
You are right. This method worked for me.
Ridiculously convoluted way to have to do it considering how easy it was before...but it did, in fact, work for me.
Thank you!
