I tried your solution and it did not help. I am going to hate this
process...I wish you had some other ideas. Or anybody else. Can't Microsoft
figure this issue out?

Copy the backup that Money made of your old file (*.m12 if it was a
Money 2004 file) to Moshe04.mny or whatever. In the install folder
of Money 2005, find salv.exe. Run that on Moshe04.mny and produce
what you hope is a repaired file.

At this point it is a slim hope, but there might have been an
improvement in salv.exe in the Money 2005 version.

You can try converting that in Money 2005, or you could try it with
your previous Money version (reinstall if you had Money 2005
uninstall it).

If no joy, I don't have a good option for you. I would try the qif
export/import thing. At least you will have a clean file.

Cal,

It did not help upgrading to Money 2005, converting the file, dowloading
updates, and even running another repair from Money 2005.

The program crashes, I can't disable online services, etc.

What should I do?

Cal, that was going to be my next step...

At least now I have hope that I am barking up the right tree...

I'll update you on what happens.

You seem to have assessed your options pretty well. The one you
could try that you did not refer to is to download the trial of
Money 2005 and see if it can convert your Money 2004 file. And then
see if there are problems thereafter.

I have a similar issue like "Don Alwalt" had in this thread:

http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...02459bfbe9f003

- New transactions are not appearing in the register
- Money crashes when loading accounts after downloading update.

Problem is that his solution does work for me. I can't even delete the
account, or disable online services. I did a Standard repair, and even tried
to do a Standard repait on the output file again. Nothing helps.

I am able to export the account. I don't want to create a new data file and
export and then import the accounts into the new file. I will lose all my
settings, budget, categories, etc.

I have a backup, but not from the time this issue happened. My latest backup
long ago overwrote the last working backup. (I wish there would be built-in
backup versioning..)

What are my options now? Help!
