Money is not and never has been backwards compatible. However when you
upgraded to M2005 it made a copy of your file as .m14. Find this, rename the
M2005 .mny as something else, rename the .m14 as .mny and reinput all the
transactions since you did the conversion.

I've been using Money 2005 Premium. I'd like to go back to Money 2004 Small
Business. When I go to ininstall 2005, I get a warning that I will be unable
to read my Money file, even if I have an older version of Money.

Can I really not get my Money 2005 file to load in Money 2004?

If I can, what is the procedure?

Thanks very much!
