Changes to Master Options not updating for some workstations

bcardenas
Level 1

I have been the Network Admin for over 20 years.  I am accustomed to making changes in the Master Options (when all users are out of Lacerte) and updating the options so they apply to all workstations on the network. I have never had a problem until the last couple of months.  Lately I have made changes to the Master Options (such as updating interest rates or adding a new tax preparer) and I see the changes when I use the program on my computer; however, other users on the network do not see the changes on their computers.  Why would this happen?  I had to go to another employee's computer, sign in to the Master Options using my password, and make the changes.  Then it worked and the updates were seen by everyone on the network.

Were you sure that ALL USERS MUST BE OUT OF THE PROGRAM BEFORE MAKING CHANGES was in effect when you made the changes?

"ALL USERS ARE OUT OF LACERTE" and all computers logged onto the network?
I am only another user and just speculating. You should probably contact support. There may be errant file messing things up..

Sounds like a call to support is in order. Sorry I could not offer anything new.
