Default Re: Money 2005 locks up during restore conversion

Thanks for the advice. I would love to dump M05 for all the same reasons you
have. Especially the loss of the double entry categories. What the hell are
they thinking. Anyways, I am having problems converting back. I can get one
file back but not the other. I would hate to be stuck using M05. am going to
try a couple of things. If they do not work, I will be back here for more
help. Thanks again.

Doesn't sound good. You might want to open a support case with Microsoft
directly. You might also want to run the salv repair tool against the file
before trying to upgrade it. You might also want to try to find an
intermediate version, like the M04 trial which recently was still available
from Microsoft Downloads and see if it can get the file part way there and
M05 can finish the job. You might also want to Just Say No to M05. I did.
See http://umpmfaq.info/Money2005.htm for my reasons.

The second file does not go anywhere after 1/2 hour. The first file which is
5x larger loaded in less than two minutes. It appears to get stuck during the
conversion process.

What's your definition of "locked up"? Some of these upgrades can take many
tens of minutes or more depending on amount of data and speed of the
machine.

Default Money 2005 locks up during restore conversion

Upgrading from money 2001. First file went fine no problem. Second file
restores and then locks on second screen that says "converting files". There
are no error messages.

Any Advice?
