M-Powered Services Centre data is stored in a separate file to your company file. This file is known as the ‘.box’ file. By default, the ‘.box’ file is integrated with your company file, but you can choose to maintain the files separately.
If you want to maintain your company file and ‘.box’ file separately, deselect the Integrate the M-Powered Services Centre with MYOB Company File [System-wide] option in the Security tab of the Preferences window.
If you choose to store the files separately, there are some things you need to consider to ensure the ongoing functioning of your M-Powered Services Centre ‘.box’ file.
Moving your company file
If you move your company file, you need to move the corresponding M-Powered Services Centre ‘.box’ file to the same folder location. For example, if you move your company file from your local hard drive to a network drive, you need to move the M‑Powered Services Centre ‘.box’ file to the same location.
Renaming your company file
The name of your M‑Powered Services centre ‘.box’ file must match the name of your company file. If you change the name of your company file, you also need to change the name of the corresponding MYOB M‑Powered Services Centre ‘.box’ file.
For example, if you change the file name from Clearwater.myo to Clearsprings.myo you need to change the name of the M‑Powered Services Centre ‘.box’ file from Clearwater.box to Clearsprings.box.
If you have renamed your company file but not your M‑Powered Services Centre ‘.box’ file, the following window appears the next time you open your company file. The window gives you the option to restore a backup of your company file or create a new M‑Powered Services Centre ‘.box’ file.
To rename your M-Powered Services Centre ‘.box’ file, locate the original ‘.box’ file (the prefix will be the same as your old company file name) and rename this file. For more information on renaming or finding files, refer to Windows Help.
