What are these two files?  Oltrans.dat and Olacct.dat are files for on-line transactions.  Even if you are not using any type of on-line processing for your company, these two files still exist within your Companies dataset.

If they become damaged it may effect some operations within Peachtree.  Most noticeable is a problem with running Data Verification. 

Because of the security system built into Peachtree Accounting you cannot not just copy a file from one company to another.  There is special security built into the system to protect your data.  If the file becomes damaged and you try to copy a file from a different company you will still have problem.

At the time of writing this, there is no way to repair these two files within the Peachtree Software.  DataSoft has developed a special tool to repair them, so you may continue business as usual.

If you receive any messages about oltrans or olacct you either need to restore a backup or have your files professionally repaired by us.

*** NOTE ***  Prior to ever restoring any backup for any software product, ALWAYS make a copy of the current data.   Do this by using the backup feature within the software or copy the data to a new location.  Make sure you name the folders and files to something that will describe to you why it is there.  In the event (and it happens often) that the backup also contains the bad files, you can get back to where you left off.  This allows you to get the damaged repaired without reenter information missing from your old backup.

If you are unsure what you are doing, STOP and find someone that does.   You will save yourself days of work and frustration.
