Problem using Money2004 to convert Money98 file.

You have to stick within region when upgrading. UK > UK and US > US are OK
but UK > US won't work.

However see http://umpmfaq.info/faqdb.php?q=1 if you are prepared to do some
work and possibly lose some information.

Hi,

I have previously been using MSMOney98 & today bought
MSMoney2004 (std) & insatlled it on my WinXP Pro PC (1GB
RAM, 120GB Disk) without problems.

When I select my previous MSMoney98 file to convert (& &
give it the right password), Money2004 starts converting
but eventually stops & shows the error message : "Money
cannot open this file because it was created by an
incompatibile version."

I don't think the file is corrupted as I just read it from
a cdrom & copied it to hard disk for Money2004 to open.

Any ideas please?

Thx
Danny
