I'm trying to insert a .DAT object in my Word 2003 Document. and I get the
following error message:

This object was created in Package. This application is not available to
open this object. Make sure the application is properly installed and that it
has not been deleted, moved, or renamed

I use to be able to insert the same object months ago and I dont understand
why I can't do it now. Has anyone seen this type of Error in Word?

Please Help!!!!!
 
It means that on your computer, now, .dat files are associated with an
application that Word can't use for inserting objects into your document.
Either you've uninstalled the application you were using some months ago, or
you've subsequently installed some other software that also uses the .dat
file extension. The appalling MYOB is a common culprit.
 
What exactly is "MYOB"
