    Hi Craigrjh 

     

    Sorry for the late reply.

     

    From the Diagnostic Log I can see that the software can't seem to resolve the Domain Name which suggests a DNS error.

     

    If there was a issue with the DNS cache on the computer that could explain it. I'd recommend clearing the DNS cache on the computer to see how this goes.

     

    Resetting the Modem can flush it's own DNS cache which can solve similar errors.

     

    To Flush the DNS

    1. Press the Windows Key on your keyboard
    2. Type in: cmd
    3. In the list of results, right-click on cmd.exe and choose Run as Administrator
    4. A command prompt window should appear
    5. At the flashing cursor, type in: ipconfig/flushdns
    6. Hit Enter on your keyboard and a confirmation message should be displayed - If not, retry steps 4-5 and ensure the command is typed correctly
    7. After the confirmation message, close the window
    8. Close AccountRight then re-open the software

     

    Keep me posted on how you go.

Thought that had fixed the problem but only allowed me to log into one company file (random!).   Any suggestions for what needs to be changed on my internet settings?  Or other?

    Hi Craigrjh 

     

    Connection Errors are fairly generic and can have multiple causes. We can narrow down what might be the cause here by having a look into the Diagnostic Log.

     

    Could you please try bringing up the error again, then after it's open it should capture the details in the Log so we can find out why it's failing.

     

    To find the Diagnostic Log:
    1. Open your Start Menu
    2. Type: %localappdata%
    3. Open the %localappdata% folder:
    temp.png
    4. Open the MYOB Folder.
    5. Open the AccountRight Folder.
    6. Open the Version folder (E.g: 2018.4)
    7. Open the Diagnostics Folder.
    8. Copy the Huxley.Application_xxxx.log file to your Desktop to get to it easier.
     
    You can use the Choose file button on the Reply page to add files to your post as attachments.

     

    Let us know what you find.
