Money 2005 should have worked, but if you got the "incompatible
version" error, then the Money 2005 trial was not for the same
country as your other versions.

I can't speak for what's going on with M05. That should work, though you
might rather it didn't given the nature of M05 and issues with it. If you
end up going back in that direction, consider doing an internet update of
M05 before trying to open your M04 data file. (You can just open the sample
file or create a simple new data file with nothing in it.) M05 was so shaky
out of the chute that there is Mega Update already available for it that
improved, among other things, its ability to upgrade data files.

As for why M03 can't open you file after the M04 trial, see

Hi.
I have received money 2003 with my laptop last year and used it ever since.
Resently I downloaded the 2004 trial version and used it for the monthly
period. As I just use it for my home finances I didn't see a need to buy the
2004 version just yet and so I uninstalled it and reinstalled the 2003
version.
The problem is that I can't open my money file anymore or restore the
backup. I have tried installing the 2005 trial, but that doesn't work either.
What can I do?

please help...
