Hi Everyone Products: AccountRight Got a question about using the below tool? There is a second post on this thread that does answer commonly asked questions - scroll down to see that post or click here. We have seen a number of cases of offline company files that, following an AccountRight upgrade, are not opening or closing unexpectedly or generating a "Something has gone wrong message." This article contains information on identifying if you are impacted and running the necessary tool required to repair that file to allow it to be opened: How do you determine you are impacted? Following an AccountRight upgrade, if you are not able to open an offline company file, or you are encountering a "Something has gone wrong" message do check out thediagnostic file for the application - this can be opened in NotePad or another similar application. If you are needing to run the following tool, thatdiagnostic file would contain traces of the wording "InvalidFingerPrint" Example line in diagnostic file would: MYOB.Huxley.UI.Decorators.DecoratorFaultProcessor,Error,1,Unhandled error. : MYOB.Huxley.API.HuxleyActivationException: (InvalidFingerprint): Running the Tool: If you do see cases of "InvalidFingerprint" in that diagnostic file, do look at completing the following steps: Close AccountRight Download the following tool: AccountRight Hotfix tool Having trouble accessing the download?

AccountRight Timeout Extender
Please Read This Before Continuing: The Timeout Extender is simply entering a value into AccountRight's Configuration File and is only to be used if you are experiencing Timeout-based errors such as "Application Operation Timeout" or if it's at the request of MYOB Support. As this does involve modifying a key configuration file for the software on your computer we strongly recommendthat you get an IT Professional to assist you if you are unfamiliar with modifying these types of files. Any incorrectly configured files may cause AccountRight to crash further or simply not open at all. If the software begins to crash after a change was made to the config file we would ask you to either return the copy of the config file made, or uninstall and reinstall, then seek assistance from an IT Professional to continue further. Do note that these configuration files are specific to each computer & version, if you install the next version of AccountRight this configuration won't be brought across. If you are experiencing problems that require the Timeout Extender to be in place you will need to set this on each computer, and version, that you are using. Please note: That there are 9 steps in this process. If you are only seeing 4-5 steps, do refresh the page. 201X.X refers to the version of AccountRight you are using, not an actual folder named 201X.X Close out of AccountRight. LocateHuxley.Application.exe.config file. You can find this by right clicking the AccountRight icon on your desktop and choosing "Open File Location" to bring up the same folder. Select the fileHuxley.Application.exe.config, and make a copy of the config file before continuing, as incorrect changes can prevent AccountRight from opening Right click the config file, select copy. Then deselect the file, right click and choose paste. This will create a copy. We now need to modify theoriginal config filecalledHuxley.Application.exe.config. You will need to right-click and chooseopen, editoropen with. If open with, select the program notepad to open the file, as in the screenshots below. Once opened in Notepad find the<appSettings>section. (use search by pressingF3orCTRL + F, and search for<appSettings>) On the<add key="UserSessionTimeout" value="60"/>line, change the value to3600. Thisnumber is inseconds, and we want to extend the timeout to 60minutes. Next, add the line<add key="TransactionTimeoutMinutes" value="60"/>to the bottom of theappSettingslist as seen in this example: Once the setting have been updated, save it by going to File > Save. Then close notepad. Open AccountRight as normal. The new timeout session will now take affect. That should extend the timeout period for you and allow you to record transactions with large amounts of data. If you are getting any errors directly after saving this, delete the config file you edited and then rename the copy you made earlier to be: Huxley.Application.exe.config It may also be worth ensuring your AccountRight Files & folders are excluded from Real-time Virus Scans and also any automatically scheduled programs like auto-backups. You can find the relevant File & Folder paths in this support note: Speed and performance tips If the Timeout Extender is applied and you are still experiencing errors, please fetch the AccountRight Diagnostic Log and Start a New Post so that we can look into it.

AccountRight caches some information that it loads so that it can be referred faster the next time it is needed. This also keeps hold of certain instructions used with reporting and some other operations with data entry or displaying information on the page. While this can make the operations faster the next time around there are times where this can become corrupted and cause odd behaviour in AccountRight such as missing information or incorrect information loading on some pages.A common troubleshooting step is to clear these cache files that AccountRight uses so that when you next open AccountRight it re-creates the cached information and can resolve some odd behaviour. Before continuing, please ensure that AccountRight is closed. Clearing the Cache while AccountRight is open may cause further unexpected behaviour. 1. Open your Start Menu 2. Start typing: %localappdata% 3. Open the %localappdata% folder when displayed: 4. Open the MYOB Folder 5. Open the AccountRight Folder. 6. Open the Version folder (E.g: 2019.2) Note: AccountRight 2021.1 or later versions will show as Current. 7. Open the Cache folder 8. Delete all files in this folder. Once these files are deleted, re-open AccountRight and try running the report, or performing the operation again.MYOB Capture FAQs - Turn your phone into a receipt scanner
