Renamed qdata.mny to qdata.2005, renamed qdata.m12 to qdata.mny, started
Money 2004, dealt with the couple of configurations that had been lost, and
I was back where I had been before installing Money 2005.

Thanks,
Stan

Yes to uninstall and reinstall. No to backup - better to use the .m12 file
but if you don't have it then use the latest .mbf.

So ... uninstall 2005, reinstall 2004, open backup from Zip disk (where I
always have the most recent backup), and I should be in business. Lucky me
.... just installed it this morning and only looked.

Thanks,
Stan

Depends how long ago you converted on the degree of pain. When you did the
upgrade Money took a copy of your .mny file and renamed as .m12. It is
hidden wherever M2005 told you but usually in the same directory as your
2005 .mny file. Rename it and start reloading all transactions since
conversion.

Since having the cashflow graph on my Home screen was the single most
important feature in Money, I need to revert to Money 2004. I will assume
that Money2005 has already hosed my data file. Can anyone give advice as to
how to go back, please?
Thanks,
Stan

I do have the ability to use the cash flow report instead, but it was very
useful to see this in the same view as the account register that it referred
to. If Microsoft wished to enhance performance, they have not gone very far
to that end. I am running Money 05 Deluxe on a PII 300 with 256, and I see no
noticable difference between the 05 version and the 03 version I replaced.
Since I can't get background banking to work without syncronizing with MSN,
(which seems to be a performance hog), I am thinking about reverting to my
2003 version.

Microsoft thinks Most Users Prefer(tm) not having Forecast Cash Flow if they
buy the Standard Edition. They think the truly Essential features are much,
much, simpler than Forecast Cash Flow. (Pretty much just a pretty skin on
your bank's web site view of your accounts.) The obviousness of the need for
Forecast Cash Flow will seem less universal to you if you hang around the NG
for a while.

Microsoft also probably wants to nick you for the extra $10 per year.

Shouldn't the consumer have the option to disable the feature if they want to
speed up Money so the rest of us can still use this ESSENTIAL feature? What
is a money management program if it can't help you calculate future account
balances? Almost useless.

No its gone. Although it was very useful, it really slowed things down due
to recalculation every time a transaction was entered.

I recently upgraded from Money 2003 to Money 2005 Deluxe. In the old
version, I could see feedback on spending patterns and a cashflow projection
in the account register view. In the new version, this (very helpful)
feature seems to be gone. Is the feature gone, or is there a trick to turning
it on? Help please!
