Dear Jacqui
You wrote that you made two back-up copies after the rollover.
The correct procedure is to make a backup **before** the rollover. Regardless of your disk problems, your backups will not now contain last year's data.
My advice to clients is to make a copy of their whole file on their hard disk, then take two backups, then do the rollover. For such critical backups, start with new diskettes. And test the backup by restoring it (which I know you've done).
I don't think your backups are any use to you. But you should ask MYOB if they can help - especially if two sets of disks, plus another company's, have the same symptom.
Can you use a prior backup instead? Sometimes, backups copies are made inadvertently to the MYOB program directory - are there any in there?
