Do you have the same Passport on your Money file as on MSN Money?
What do you get when you click File-> PasswordManager?

Thanx for your prompt response. The .mny file from yesterday no longer
exists, I looked all over the drive for it. Anyhow, I tried to resync from
on-line, but it doesn't do it, it only syncs quotes news and exchange rates,
but the section that says: MSN Money Syncronization remains unchecked. How
can one force this to sync??

As long as you use "essential" mode instead of "advanced" mode, I think.

I think you nailed the situation. I had not been thinking in those

So what I would do, if I were you, is to make a copy of the
converted file-- just in case. Then open the converted file and add
the SAME Passport you have on the MSN Money account with
File-> PasswordManager.

Money should then be able to combine the information.

If you leave the Passport on that Money file, the changes you make
should be reflected both in your local Money file and in MSN Money.

Consider your backup strategy. That is always a good idea, but it
seems especially good to keep extra backups while you are treading
new ground.

You need to go looking for a .MNY file you stored yesterday. Try the File
menu to see if it's one of the recently used files down at the bottom.

IF you are going to convert a Quicken file, I think you need to do this
FIRST. I think importing the Q file forced it to create a new file. This is
a guess on my part--hopefully somebody who knows can confirm/deny. It will
probably every day you try to convert a Q file.

I've used the same file for more than a decade. M opens the last file you
used it with. Or, you can go seek a specific file in Windows file Explorer
and R-click open it. Or you can use Money's File menu to open the file of
your choice.

I downloaded the trial version yesterday and spent several hours inputting
information. This morning I opened up the software, and it started from the
beginning, converting my old Quicken Info, etc.. I renamed the qdata file to
qdatajj, thinking that it would still have my file from yesterday, but it did
not. Somehow it lost all my data, and since the backup didn't work yesterday,
it seems I am dead in the water. Interestingly enough, on-line in msn money,
it has my information from yesterday. Is there a way to sync the info from
on-line back to the local version of money. If not, what is wrong with this
trial version that it starts from the beggining like that. Will it do that
every day??????????


Thanks in advance for any help!!
