Yes, within region you can always read the .mny file from an older version. You might want to consider the Money Trial to see if a) it really will convert and b) if you like the new version.

See http://www.microsoft.com/uk/homepc/money/default.mspx

When you convert M2005 will make a copy of your .mny file - remember where it is. If you don't like M2005 you can always reload your current version and read the back up. You will, of course, have to reinput all transactions since you converted.

Thanks Mr Peel for prompt reply. The word in my edition is spelt as 'cheque'.
Please tell me if I buy UK edition will it be able to read/import data from
my .mny file?

Thanks

Have a look in Help and see how "check" / "cheque" is spelt. If the former
then you definitely have the US version. If the latter then it could be UK
or International English.

I have been using Money 99 Standard edition OEM version that was bundled with
my PC. I want to upgrade to a new version. I understand that there are
several regional editions of Money. How can I find out which edition do I
have - UK, international or some other? I am not able to contact my original
computer vendor.

Thanks
