As per Kiwiamber's note, the desktop application only exports to .xls Excel 97-2003 workbooks file type
I have had multiple tickets for our clients over the last 18 months with the only advice from MYOB being to move to the Cloud or it's Microsoft's issue.
As per the Australian Government's, Australian Signals Directorate recommendations:

>Hardening Microsoft 365, Office 2021, Office 2019 and Office 2016
>File Type Blocking
The recommendation is to block this legacy file type.
An update to the MYOB application to utilise modern Excel templates/file types that are not blocked as a standard security measure is required.
It would be nice if MYOB could provide some advice on their roadmap to update their templates for the on-premises desktop application to provide restore this functionality, though I don't believe this exists.
Hope this helps Kiwiamber, you might have to look at transitioning to another software solution that supports your requirements.
