How come everything has to use > Microsoft Passport?! I don't want to use it - PERIOD! The two things I've learned to watch out for when this message occurs are: (a) the file was restored from a CD and I forgot to turn off the "Read Only" property that is automatically set by the CD; or (b) occassionally a file indexing program or search tool, like the new MSN Desktop Search (Beta), has the file engaged for indexing. IOW, when I get this message from Money, the program really can't get exclusive read/write access to the file and it's usually my fault when that occurs. -- DG - "Keep an open mind, not a blank one." |

| Passport requirement BS! I just reinstalled my XP machine and reinstalled Money 2005. My problem is that when I open the MNY file or it s backup its says it can not convert it because drive is READ ONLY or protected; however, EVERYONE has full permissions on it! and when I try to create a NEW MNY file, it prompts me to create a PASSPORT (this s the MOSt BS piece of requirement). How come everything has to use Microsoft Passport?! I don't want to use it - PERIOD! |
