Extracting old data
Hi. I have MYOB files from 2000-2001 that I need to retrieve some data from. Is that even possible any more? Is there any program that will just pull the text out of it so I can see what was paid for...
Hi brpubs
Sorry, as I mentioned I'm not familiar with Mac. As far as I know, desktop versions only worked up to the Mohave operating system and I don't know if the version you are using would upgrade the old file. I am pretty sure none of the online versions are compatible with desktop versions (except for Windows AccountRight). The operating system cross compatibility I mentioned is for Windows and Mac so not applicable here. FGH Tables is a third part provider that many of us on the Forum use and recommend for these unusual situations where MYOB may not be able to help. https://www.fghtables.com/myob/conversionservices.php

Thanks so much, Liz. I did get in touch with fghtables.com. Conclusion seems to be that the file must have become corrupted somehow. I had two other files from the same period that I was able to open with AccountEdge by adding a .myo extension to them, but this one didn't work this way and fghtables said it wasn't identifiable as an MYOB file. Oh well... Thanks for trying to help!
