Situation

The company file you attempted to open is a version previous to the current version and it can't be used by MYOB AccountEdge in its present form.

Solution

Be sure the company file you attempted to open is the company file you want. If you're sure the file is correct, you'll need to upgrade the company file using the MYOB AccountEdge Upgrade Assistant.
