First check to insure that when you do Help-> About, the version is
14.0.*.1105.

I think you are saying you have a *.mbf file that you created with
Money 2002. Open the Money 2005. Do File-> Restore, and choose that
*.mbf file. During the restore process, do not have Money put the
file into its "default" location. Instead *browse* to you My
Documents folder and specify a name for the restored file.

This process should work. If you get an error message, what is that
message?

I had Money 2002, I just went to 2005, I need to open a backup file MS
Money.M10 created with 2002. when I try to open it, I am told that I need
2002 to open it. in order to put 2002 on my Pc I need to remove 2005, if I
remove 2005, I am told I cannot open files saved in 2005 with previous
versions. God I hate this stuff, if i remove 2005, install 2002 and restore
this .M10 file to 2002 then install 2005 convert the file in question, will I
risk my existing 2005 saved and backed up Money files?
