Check the location were you saved it in your MM2018 version.

Thanks for answer.
Not sure I follow what you mean. You mean if I have moved the file and that is why the application cannot find it. Well, I try to open it from the file itself. It was originally stored in a sharepoint site. Then when I encountered the problem, a made a copy and placed it on my computer, locally. Same problem still.
Or, maybe you mean I should check something else with the location? In that case, what?

Your MM2019 cannot find a MMAT file? This is a template file. It should be stored where all your template files are stored. That way MindManager can find and open them best.

Can you open that template file from > New> Local Templates > your own templates?
Can you find it in the Template Organizer?

Hi. Yes, it was by mistake stored as a template, but it seemed to work before the upgrade so I never put any effort in converting it.
I now added it to my templates (it was not in the template home page) and I tried to open it. But I get the same error. It is now visible in the 'Template home' with a red crossing.
By the way, I can open other .mmat files. Like old backup copies of this particular file.

Hi again. Just to say I solved it :-) Found an old thread where aHa!Coaching describes this:

I was able to repair it by renaming it to ZIP and then using DiskInternals ZIP Repair.

I did the same, opened it with the ZIP Repair tool. Something was fixed. Closed it renamed it back to .mmat. And Voila! It opens as before :-)
