These instructions require technical expertise
Make sure you know what you're doing and are using one of the products listed. If you're not sure, ask your IT professional or MYOB.
In MYOB Accountants Enterprise (AE) you may experience the error "The database AETAX1 is reaching its maximum allowed size for the version of SQL Server installed" when performing a Datasafe backup.
This error occurs when the database is near the size limit.
To resolve this error run the SQL database shrinker in DataSafe to compact an SQL or MSDE database.
When you perform the DataSafe backup, this process checks if the AE Tax MSDE\SQL database is nearing the size limit and therefore requires compacting.
