You should be able to open your old Money file if you still have
that.

You could also try creating a new Money 2003 Deluxe file and see if
you can "synchronize" that using your Passport you were using with
MSN Money. I don't know if it will get data from the Microsoft
server successfully or not.

Help!!
Since my MoneyCentral portfolio stopped allowing me to download
brokerage data, I decided to reserwreck my Money 2003 Deluxe that I had
uninstalled and tossed in a bottom drawer after briefly playing around with
it a couple of years ago when MSN Investor (MoneyCentral portofolio) was
giving me grief by refusing to download update data from my brokerage house
(Schwab). I'll say one thing for it, it did allow me to view the downloaded
OFX file and determine which transaction was causing the grief. Neither
Schwab 3rd level or MSN portfolio support types would fix the problem (Money
just rejected the transactions) so I temporarily stopped downloading the 3
accounts (of the 30 in my porfolio) that contained the transaction until
they aged off of the Schwab download list. I didn't like the slowness of
money or the fact it forced me to save data on internet based servers and
didn't want to have to reconcile credit cards and bank accounts, etc and
wouldn't take the brokerage house's word for how much cash I had in each
account.
Anyhow, a couple of years had passed going allong just fine using
Portfolio without having Money in my machine when the Upgrade/Downgrade of
portfolio occurred and after a month of going through complete agony getting
my portfolio to somewhat resemble its former apperrance (luckily I had a
7/21/04 .inv backup) I decided I needed to get my portfolio updated to
reflect dividend coming into the many active accounts so I decided to
reinstall Money 2003 just so I could get Brokerage downloads of dividends,
interest and new buys and sell. Just got done doing so, and upon starting
it up the first thing it wants to do (after having accept some terms) is to
prompt me for the password of the "My Portfolio.mny) file. Well I gave it
the passport password, the portfolio download password and the Schwab
password for my SSN. All to no avail. It wants something different.
Please one you MVPs give me a clue as to what I can delete or add to the
registry to be able to start using it. I'm running Windows XP pro with SP1
and all critical updates. Please don't suggest SP2 as I had that installed
on one of my other machines and it gave so much grief (Yahoo Messemger
stopped working) that I uninstalled it from there and am quite happy with my
free Zonealarm and free AVG and don't want any of the "enhancements" that
SP2 in it present form provides.
All I want is my MoneyCentral Portfolio to work as it did 6 weeks ago.
Help Cal I know that's what you'd like also. I know it wasn't elegant when
positions would disappear because of mergers and ticker changes, but I could
live with it and always had an audit trail of what had occured to
reconstruct the basis in the current view.

Sorry if I should have posted in MoneyCentral, but it at least works to see
current data. (Although slowly and with no cash in many of the accounts, and
old closed accounts with positions sold long ago). I don't even know if the
portfolio will be usable with the download from the brokerage houses, but
I'll never be able to find out if I can't get signed into Money.
