Hi guys,
You can try reading the file header , it should contain the field mapping details. I have done some conversion with MYOB Tax Software (Formerly Solution 6).

Not a developer friendly interface but it works in most cases. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Greg Keogh Sent: Wednesday, 9 June 2010 5:12 PM To: 'ozDotNet' Subject: Manipulating MYOB/CTree files Folks, I need to update a MYOB V19 "database" file and change some dates and names. I believe the file format is CTree (which I last used in 1993). I just downloaded their 20MB ODBC driver along with the 494 page User Guide. >From a quick read it looks like a heavyweight process, as the driver seems to instantiate a silent copy of MYOB and pass your requests through. I can understand this is a way of preventing the data being corrupted outside of their built-in business rules, but I'd like to knock up a lightweight .NET app as a kind of general purpose "browser" of the MYOB database file contents (or any CTree file for that matter) and I was hoping there was a shortcut/cheat someone knows of. I'd like my app to avoid having a dependency upon anything from MYOB, which they might think is a bit rude, but what the hell. I can't yet find a general purpose ODBC driver, nor can I find a managed wrapper, but I thought I'd ask in here while I'm searching just in case someone has done this before.
