Actually, let me change that part: then do File-> Open, and browse to
your actual Money file.

Have Money create a new file. Select Decline when asked about
Passport. Money should do an update. Close Money, and open it again.
Your version will be 14.0.*.1105 after the updates completes.

Click File. If your real file is listed at the bottom of the
drop-down list, select your file.

Default Can't open 2005 data file after reinstalling Money 2005

I am experiencing a recurring problem. I have had to reinstall Windows XP
and MS Money 2005. I am now unable to open my previously converted 2005 file
or restore any backup version. I consistently get the following error
message:

"Money cannot locate filename or cannot open it, possibly
because it is a read-only file, you do not have
permission to change it, or your disk drive is write-
protected. If you have chosen the correct file and it
cannot be accessed, you will need to click OK and then
Restore your most recent backup file."

Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

scott
