If you have broadband, I suggest that you copy your Money file to
compitus06.mny. Then download the trial, and tell Money 2006 to not
uninstall the old version. Have the trial convert compitus06.mny.

Run both for a while-- one at a time. Keep both up to date.
Customize your Portfolio to your preferences. See which works best
for you after a while.

However note that versions after Money 2002 in the US, Money will
deactivate downloads and statement files from your banks. Money 2006
will commit you to upgrading every two years unless you want to
enter transactions and prices by hand.

It can be done, but if you have a USB port, USB drives are cheap and
reliable. Watch for sales. 64K are big enough for most to have a few
backups. 128 K units often sell for $20 on sale. I see one in an ad
today for $15 with no rebate.

If you don't have a USB port, you have been denying yourself a new
computer for too long. And a new monitor too. Money 2006 seems to
assume you have a bigger monitor.

Thank You for reply. As I have old Pentium II I am worry about performance.
Also I don,t have CD writer-You think I can fit back up file from 2006 on a
floppy?
Thank You

My advice is to buy Money 2006 for about $25 and go from there. It is
really stupid to look for an older edition of the program. Don't
download. Buy the store copy with the CD. Also, don't expect the so
called "automatic downloads" to work in all cases. Use your own brain
and enter things manually if the download doesn't work. Good luck. Steve

Hi all. using now 2002-can pay bills, download transactions and so on.
Considering upgrading to 2003, or 2004-switch from one bank to other and
they require newer then 02. Saw warning that 2005 will expire online
services in 2007 and (I guess) force You to get new version. Will 2003 and
2004 stop working online soon, even 2002 is still working fine? Another
thing is, how big are back up files on 2003, 4,5? Now on 2002 I got about
800 kb.
Thank You for any advice
