Hi julieD2 , AccountRight must always be the last program installed, so first of all, reinstall Accountright. You can download the install files from myob.com/xx/support/downloads, where xx is au or nz.

Also, you should check whether the new Office program is 32 or 64 bit. AccountRIght requires 32 bit. In Excel, go to File, Account and About Excel. The first line in bold should end in 32-bit. If it's 64-bit, you'll have to speak to your IT people.

If you still have trouble after re-installing AccountRight and checking the "bit value", then try an export to Excel again, then find the diagnostic file and attach it to this thread. The log file location and how to get there is described here:

Hi Mike_James,

I have checked the office program and it is 64 bit so I have contacted my IT guy to find out a way to rectify this.

I am very grateful for your help - this was a problem that should not have been so stressful. Did not have this problem with Xero or Quickbooks !

Thanks so much
