Why Is MYOB So Slow: Episode Two, the Network Menace

Last week, I offered a few tips about unclogging your print queues to give your MYOB data file a spring clean and improve speed.

While this is an MYOB truth, it is far from the whole truth, and I would hate to cause any of our dedicated blog followers frustration. I hear you cry: “I’ve cleared my print queues, and I still wait 5 minutes for a report to load! What else can I do?”
