It should, as long as your computer is set to Canadian settings.
That is how it knows which way to behave. However 2005 Standard
should be out shortly. It should convert your Money 98 Deluxe
Canadian files too. There is a 30-day return privilege, but in the
past there has not been a downloadable trial of that version.

Do you think that the Money 2004 Standard Canadian will allow me to
import my Money 98 Deluxe Canadian files?

Thanks

Not so. Standard Canadian version which does track investments.

True. The Deluxe version will not work with Canadian files. However
with Standard you are only giving up a few things. For example, for
Mergers and Spinoffs, you will have to do some manual adjustments.
For splits, no problem.

Hello,

Maybe someone out there can help me...

I have recently had to install a larger hard drive in my laptop
computer. When I went to reinstall Microsoft Money 98 Deluxe Canadian
Edition (which I had been happily using until then) I found that the
CD was unreadable. I tried copying the folder from my old hard drive
to the new hard drive but could not get the install repair to work -
even though it should have done so without the CDROM (technical issues
to follow in case anyone knows how to hack .inf files)

Now I went to buy Microsoft Money 2004, but they only have the
Standard Canadian version which does not track investments. I then
donwloaded Money 2004 Deluxe trial from Microsoft's site but it would
not convert the Money 98 files.

I have been keeping records since 1997 and I would like to use the
data and not start again with a new product. Does anyone have any
information? Maybe a copy of Money 98 Deluxe Canadian Ed. still
around? (I have a valid licence but Microsoft says that they can't
replace my CD). Any other solutions to try and export my qif files for
each indivisual account and then import them into another programme
like quicken, etc? I can still boot from my old hard drive and export
the files using the working version of Money 98.

Thanks for any help... Here are the technical details...

I copied the installed version of Money 98 from my old laptop. There
is a setup.exe file and it says that I can repair the installation
without needing the CD. When I try to reinstall the program this way,
the computer chokes when trying to find the Internet Explorer files,
specifically htmlctrl.exe. When I look in the Money98.inf file for
installation I find this section that I shouldn't be needed since I
already have IE6 installed:

[IESetup]

"msie302_exe"= 1,msie302.exe,,,,1997-09-23,,1033,ALWAYS,,,,,,,6521488,,,,4.71.603.0,

"amovie_exe"= 1,amovie.exe,,,,1997-09-23,,1033,ALWAYS,,,,,,,1058376,,,,4.70.0.1145,

"htmlctrl_exe"= 1,htmlctrl.exe,,,,1997-09-23,,1033,ALWAYS,,,,,,,1080920,,,,4.70.0.1168,

When I try to remove this section, the installer also does not like
this and it won't complete the installation. When I run Money98 is
starts, but then chokes as it says that the installation was not
complete.
