First you will need to go back to OS 9. Open your company files like you normally would. Go under file to Rename Files, or Rename Company and rename the company files using a simple name with no unusual characters in it like ., :, ;, {, etc. Try renaming the files like you would be putting the information onto a PC, short name with only letters and numbers. Then reboot in OSX, launch the application program and open the company files. Since OSX is Unix based, it doesn’t recognize all the characters that the other Mac operating systems would.
