Hi,

I have upgraded my two company files to 2022 R2 but when I click on the Launch Accounts 2022 R2 button on the control panel, it tries to open in 2021 R2 and puts up an error message

How do you fix this please?

    Go to the Control panel, before you click Launch and Log off remote users, and try again

    Also close your browser and re-open it

    I don’t have a problem with Chrome but I use Mozilla Firefox as my default

    Thank you for the replies.

    I logged out, closed the browser, and restarted and it allowed me to open the company file successfully.

    They should put these procedures in the upgrading notes to stop the panic and time wasting.

    I appreciate the "Community's" assistance.

    Regards,

    Stuart

    @Zappy

    I'm sure you're already aware but for others that come across this thead, the reason why this scenario occurs is simply down to the file session not being closed properly. When finished working on a file, the best course of action is to use the File ➡️ Exit option so that the file and session is closed properly and in full.

    If only the browser tab/window is closed (as an example), Hosted will attempt to open the same version as it wasn't closed.


    There's a help guide that outlines this in more detail which is indeed listed in the Reckon Accounts Hosted upgrade guide and there's also a Community article as well which I'll link below -

    How could you possibly think everyone always does the right thing @Zappy, many times people don’t even know what the right thing is - in my experience anyway.

    Actually I was under the impression that it’s more important to go to settings and select logout, that’s what I tend to impress upon people. But I’ll stand corrected
