Importing an accounts list from MYOB Accountants Office
When you create a company file, you can choose to import an accounts list from a file provided by your accountant (see Create a company file). If the file was created by MYOB Accountants Office—with a .txt extension—follow the procedure below to import the accounts list. (Ask your accountant for a new file if it does not have a .txt extension.)
Once you have imported an MYOB Accountants Office accounts list, you can import journal transactions from your accountant. For more information, see Enter year-end adjustments.

The accounts are imported and a message appears, giving you the results of the import. If you get a warning or an error message indicating that the import was not successful, refer to the import log file in your AccountRight program folder for a list of errors or warnings. This is a text file—readable by most word processors and text editors—and lists the problems encountered during the import. It is called MYOBPLOG.txt
