Corrupt file after Money Crashed

#3 08-25-2005, 11:17 PM

Yes, I restored a recent backup and pulled updates from my bank. I have to
check to make sure I didn't miss anything. Obviously I lost my edits and
manual entries.

That is an amazing coincidence. You folks should get a UPS if this
kind of thing happens to you often.

Perhaps. If you are downloading your transactions, you can probably
re-download from your financial institutions again. If you are
entering by hand, then I hope you have a recent backup.

If you put it that way, no.

I just had the same problem. Is there nothing that can be done to recover the
lost activity that occured while the My Money file was open before the crash
but following the most recent back-up? In other words, are the updates
journaled so the file can be forward recovered?

Don't overwrite your backup file. Make an extra copy of what you
have. Then I would do File-> Restore of your latest back that
preceded your problem.

I was using MS Money '05 when my computer suddenly shut down / rebooted due
to some sort of power surge in my house. Regardless, the next time I tried
to open my money file (My Money.mny) a window popped up that said "Money has
detected that you did not close the file "My Money" before exiting. Money
now needs to verify the information in your file. If your file is large,
this may take a few minutes. Do you want to do this now?"

When I click "YES" the progress bar goes to about 25% then an error message
pops up saying "The e-mail address or password is incorrect. Please try
again."

This is odd because I have been using the same username and password for
years! I've seen about 4-5 other postings on here from people with the exact
same problem, but none of them ever seem to be resolved. Can anyone please
help me?

Thanks kindly - Curtis
