In MYOB Contacts you may experience the following error message (the version numbers may differ) when opening Contacts:
"Environment Error 1: Database has not been successfully converted. Please contact your System Administrator and quote this number. Found version 4* [PDTSYS] Require version 4*" where * is the version number.
This error indicates the data files are in a prior version to your program files.
To resolve this error, locate your program directories then convent the current database to the later version.
- At the Windows desktop, click Start and select Run. The Run window appears.
- Type ceedata.ini in the Open field and click OK. The ceedata.ini window appears.
- Take note of the PROGRAM_DIR directory, e.g. S:\MYOB\bin,
Take note of the CHOME directory, e.g. S:\Data\MYOB\.
Make sure that you DO NOT have a UNC path for either the PROGRAM_DIR or CHOME directories, e.g. \\servername\ in the ceedata.ini file. If a UNC path is present for either directory, this MUST be replaced by the absolute path, e.g S:\MYOB\bin and then your changes must be saved via the menu path File > Save.- From the File menu, select Exit.
