There are two ways of backing up a money file onto a CD
1. locate the backup file and just copy it to ur CD
2. Go to File menu> Backup> Backup to Hard Disk > BrowseSelect CD Drive as the location to save> OK

On backup to hard disk I do have compression checked.
Does this explain why the filesize is different? I have
not changed my backup options in months. Why would the
file size change? Thanks.
Anymore information would be greatly appreciated.

When you say that going to "My Documents and sending backup document
to the CD" doesn't work, what do you mean? In what ways does it not work?
The size of your backup file is determined by whether you specified that it
be compressed (in Tools, Options, Backup).

How do I go about backing Money 2002 to a CD? Under
Tools/Options/Backup there is no option to backup to CD
only floppy. There used to be one where backup document
was sent directly to the drive containing my CD. (It
looks to me like this problem was created by Microsoft on
a recent update-one of the stupidest things I think they
have ever done.)

I tried going to My Documents and sending backup document
to the CD. That has worked in the past but does not work
now. The size of the most recent backup file is several
thousand kbs smaller than files created in recent days. I
am so confused I don't know where to go from here.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
