Thanks to those who replied. With the help of Chris from Curtin Uni the problem has been solved. MYOB wouldn't open the file directly from the CD, possibly because it is read only. The solution was simply to copy the CD file to the hard disk and open it from there.

Hi,
I have a client using MYOB Account Edge on an eMac using OS10.3.3 and a Superdrive. There is a data file which on the HD which can be opened, and when it is copied to a flash drive it can be opened from there. But when I burn a CD I get the message "The file you have chosen is not an Account Edge data file." I burnt a CD of an Appleworks document which opened perfectly, suggesting that the burner is OK.
any clues???
