The move to version 5.5 has added the following steps to the process of using the Import Macro:
1. Signing in to Database setup as a ADMIN
2. Opening the Database
3. Hitting the Propagate button

And of course everyone has to be out of Accpac while this happens. In our case the client is a public
company trading on TSX Senior Board with over 25 users in multiple locations in various time zones and countries. Not a practical option for verity of reasons:

a. It is impractical to get everyone out all at once
b. Due to security reasons only the CFO has the admin password and it would be unreasonable to have him conduct this task or share the admin password.

I am not sure why this change was made in the first place? It worked just fine in version 5.4.

  • What on earth are you talking about? Is this something that was written for you?

  • I am having the same problem in version 5.5. Does anyone know if this is fixed in version 5.6?
