    Hi Sean, 

     

    Thank you for your advice. 

     

    Yes, it is dangerous to play with ABA file. 

     

    Finally the problem was resolved by researching in the Forum.  The problem was cause by a "HARD ENTER".  Somehow and enter key was pressed and cannot be seen.  The recommendation is 1. Use Tab Key when entering data instead of Enter key. 2. When correcting filed, Right Click and mouse and select "Clear" insted of  using Delete or Backspace. 

     

    Thank you all to the User and Advisor helping me to fix the problem.  It was a long and painful ride but ending is sweet. 

     

    Let's keep up the good works.

Hi StuartHKC, 

 

Thanks for your post. To clarify are you able to create the bank file from AccountRight ? If you can, are you having troubles uploading it to your banking institution ?

 

Do let me know so I can assist further.

      I am having the same problem.

       

      As a bookkeeper, I have been uploading ABA files to Commbiz for over a year.  Since the last MYOB update (May 2023), you can import the file to Commbiz, but when you go to click on it to process it, there is nothing in the file.

       

      Please help, as this is how all wages and suppliers are paid in this company.

        HI, 
         
        Today, the Commbiz is having problem.  Not your part!   This has happen twice this year as I can recall. 
         
        Keep trying or use Netbank to do it.  It works the same but the new payees will be delay by 24 hours. This is the different between Commbiz and Netbank. 
         
        Good luck.  It will be fixed and hope it will be before 6 pm today. 
         
        Rgds,

    Hi Melisa

     

    Thank you for the fas note. 

     

    I can create ABA file but fail to import into Commbiz.  The last lines of files seems corrupted. 

    I cannot tell this is MYOB issue or Commbiz issue.  Have you heard anyone reporting the same issue like mine.  

    Thanks in advance. 

     

    Regards,

      Hi StuartHKC, 

       

      I'd attempt to re-download a new ABA file, if it still appears corrupted and not uploading to commbiz I would recommend reaching out to commbiz. If your not opening the ABA file and just uploading it, there should be no corruptions. 

       

      Do let me know how it goes.

        Hi Melisa,

         

        I found out thru reading the ABA file by wordpad that always the same employee has the same problem. 

         

        I have deactivated the car and created a new employee card by entering, not copying the old card, 

         

        It's sor to jinx for the employee but I have checked this employee for more thant ten times.  The bank account and the name on payment fileds are all correct.  I am so frustrated for this.  Can you please shed some light for me?

         

        Thank you in advance.
