I found this when the data file had been through the latest upgrade, and the
new computer hadn't.

When you start Money and get the error create a new data file. Then open it
and let money do it's upgrade. After the upgrade you can reopen the old file.

Note: Make backups of your old file just in case.

I'm assuming you are using a Windows XP Operatin system, if so check the
file security rights of the Money file, or the directory rights of the
machine. You may also want to confirm that you have administrator access to
the computer.

I've been using Money 2005 for a month or so... I decided to switch which
computer I use it at at home. Just yesterday I think was the last update that
asked me to back up my file. Now, I've installed the program on a new
computer we got and everytime it tries to download the latest money update it
crashes when it goes to install it. It says I dont have access to the file or
that it may be 'read only' or not enough disk space (needs 100 megs). I can
use the file perfect on the orginal computer, it's not marked read only, and
there's over 40GB of space available.

Any idea on what might be causing it? I can use the version of Monday that
came on the 2005 CD without any problems if I create a new file. I
uninstalled and reinstalled Money 5 times already hoping that one time would
work.

Any Ideas?
