When you open a multi-user company file that is on a network computer in Microsoft Office Small Business Accounting 2006, you receive the following error message:
This company is on a remote machine, it needs to be upgraded. Please go to the main database computer and upgrade it.
For example, when you open the
companyname_multiuser.sbc file,
you receive the error message.
Note The
companyname placeholder represents an actual computer name.
This problem occurs because the multi-user company file is on a network computer that is running a Microsoft Office Small Business Accounting 2006 service pack that differs from the Office Small Business Accounting 2006 service pack that is running on the client computer.
To resolve this problem, install the latest Office Small Business Accounting 2006 service pack on the computer on which SBA is installed and on the network computer. To do this, click
Check for Updates on the
Help menu, and then apply the latest Office Small Business Accounting 2006 service pack.
