Default Re: Can't transfer money data file between computers

Thanks, I think this may be the issue. I will try this and see if this fixes
the problem!

I had the same problem recently. Problem appears to have been because
I instlled Money 2005 directly from the CD, but the MyMoney.mny file
was last updated by a updated version of Money 2005 which had converted
the file to a new format. I just created a dummy file with the new
installation and then let it update itself. Then it had no problem
with the correct file.

Try restoring to a place you Browse to rather than taking the
default location in the new machine. A good place would be in your
'My Documents" folder.

Default Can't transfer money data file between computers

I've tried, but failed, to transfer my money data file from my old computer
to my new computer (old is ME, new is XP). No matter what I do I keep
getting an error message "Money cannot locate [my file location and file
name] or cannot open it." I've tried to make a backup copy from my old
computer, and open this with the "restore backup" feature, but got the above
message. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks
