This is precisely what is happening to me as well. Any solutions out there?
I am trying to help my mom with her expenses and I can't get her older Money
program to work with my Money 2004. I have tried a back-up restore but run
into a brick wall from there. Thx.

I have just installed Money 2004, and am trying to
upgrade my Money 98 file. It keeps coming up with an
error which I found on the MS site. (Q320193 When you try
to open a Money data file that was created in an earlier
version of Money, you may receive the following error
message:
"Money cannot locate filename or cannot open it, possibly
because it is a read-only file, you do not have
permission to change it, or your disk drive is write-
protected. If you have chosen the correct file and it
cannot be accessed, you will need to click OK and then
Restore your most recent backup file.")
However the fixes I got from there didn't work either.
Salvage did't work, nor did repair. Salvage told me the
file wasn't even a database! Anyone had any success with
upgrading from 98? Or any other suggestions would be most
welcome! Many thanks!
