How to rename your file for the new financial year
Hi guys,
I've just rolled my financial year, following the prompts, but am confused as to why I cannot re-name the file to appear in my library?
Under the old software I was able to save my pre-roll over file (into, say a 2018-2019 file, and create a duplicate that I could then re-name 2019-2020 and update) which woudl allow me to easily tell which financial year/file I am opening/using.
I can't see a way of doing this in the new programme, and I can't find any help topics related to this. With the new 'library' system, all I can see is the old names - so I now have no idea how to tell last financial year vs this financial year with them havign the same name. I guess I'll have to restore the old file until I can work out how to not overwrite that with the new year information. Super frustrating when I like to keep each year filed away separately in case there is an issue.
Any advice would be most appreciated. Thank you!
Thanks Gavin, I ended up speaking to someone at MYOB as I wasn't sure how to locate the library files. All solved. Though I still find it odd that when you roll over the year you don't get some kind of prompt to rename the file and save to the library so that your old information and new information are both safely stored. I would have thought that woudl have been a no-brainer for MYOB. Either way, I managed to re-store and re-save, then duplicate/change name and then re-roll. Yay for me.
