Running MYOB18 using windows 11

I need to be able to access my MYOB 18. I recently upgraded to windows 11. My IT guy was able to design a work around which still allowed me to access MYOB18 but in last few days windows must have done some sort of update and this work around no longer works. I now get the message "This app can't run on your PC Access is denied". I need to be able to access the data in this file and continue to use this. How can I do that? Is there another MYOB product I can purchase that will read these files

    Hi janinedm 

     

    There are a few solutions to this problem (if it's the error I think it is) but the easiest I found, is to change your MYOB.exe file name to something like MYOB18.exe and Send it to the Desktop to create a shortcut to start the MYOB from.

     

    Cheers

    Liz

      I have tried these steps and it did not work. Are you able to suggest something else or is there an upgrade path that I can use that will preserve my current date
