In MYOB Accountants Enterprise (AE) although you may have all users out of the system, some error messages indicate that users are in still logged into the system even though you know that they are not and running the ActiveUsers.bat file does not show the list of users still locked into AE.

When this occurs, it's because Integrity has locked some database files because it's still running or active.

In MYOB AE there are four ways to find out if Integrity is running and the following instructions will step you through all four processes.

There are four ways to determine the machine where integrity is running when all users have exited MYOB Accountants Enterprise:

In the Utility field, select Application Finder and click Run Now. The Application Finder screen appears.
It now displays the machine and user that is running each application including integrity.exe.

The file lists the workstation name that has integrity running.
