Open MYOB Datafile automatically
Technically this can be use used to have any program open up a file it can understand when its run. But you would generally associate a file extension with a particular program and just double click on the file itself.
The reason I’m using this method for MYOB is that sometimes when MYOB gets upgraded and you try and re-associate the myo extension with the new program windows does not actually do it and continues to try and open the files with the lower version of MYOB. I suspect this has something to do with the program itself having the same name just with a different path but I’ve not troubleshooted it as the below works around the problem easy enough.
All you need to do is create a new shortcut to the MYOB executable (or edit the one on your desktop) and then place the full path to the *.myo file after it in the target field.
As shown below the path to the command would be c:\Premier12\Myobp.exe “C:\Your Path\Company File.myo”
Click Ok and now you can just double click on your shortcut and have the correct version of MYOB open up the datafile.
