Hey professormac
That error can be caused if your business name contains special characters (like &, %, $, #, @, commas, emojis, or other symbols).
We're working on a fix for this, but until then you can either:
- share the invoice via your phone's email app – view the invoice, tap Share and select your email app
- remove the special characters from your business name (sign into MYOB in the browser > settings ⚙️ > Business settings > Business details tab).

Thanks for the response Amanda.
The problem isn't caused by special characters in my business name. It's caused by special characters in the description field of one of the items on the invoice which was created in the web browser on a computer. The new MYOB mobile App chokes on this character and gives the error. Please fix the App so that all invoice fields accept the entire character set, just like your website does on a computer. In my case, the character it choked on was "—" (option-dash, or long-dash).
