How to open MYOB file?

The most common problem when using MYOB Data is that a specific MYOB is not associated with the program. This causes the file MYOB to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MYOB file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install MyOB

Programs to open MYOB file

Remember to download programs supporting MYOB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of MyOB with MYOB files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MYOB file still does not use the MyOB program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the MyOB application as the default for handling the MYOB file.

Step 3. Update MyOB to the latest version

If, despite the association of the MyOB program with the MYOB Data file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the MYOB Limited website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MYOB file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to MYOB files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MYOB file. However, remember that not every infected MYOB file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MYOB file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MYOB files. You can restore the file from a backup or use MYOB Limited help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MYOB except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the MYOB file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MYOB to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MYOB file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
