I would make a copy of your Money file on the old laptop (use a new
name). Open that file. Remove the Passport. Save the file. Copy that
file to the new computer using a USB flash drive to carry the file
between computers. See if you can open that file.

Cal,

For some strange reason still no luck. After I have run - regsvr32
Msxml3.dll - I got the message DllRegisterServer in Msxml3.dll succeeded.
Now I open the My Money.mny file to find the same old error "The Sign-in
Attempt for **** was unsuccessful. Please try your sign-in name and password
again". In fact, I have tried everything mentioned in the link you have
pointed out including re-installation of money. I am lost and I have no clue
how to proceed with opening my file! Could you please post your views on
this?

Bob,

Thanks for the information. But as I said above, I have no luck with either
..mny or .mbf!! Could you please help me out?

Apart from Cal's answers note that the .mbf file is a backup for emergency
use. More typically the .mny file is your main Money file and we would
normally say copy that around using a memory stick.

Though I am computer savvy, MS Money is driving me crazy. Last year I have
installed Money 2004 on my laptop and used it once a month to download
transactions. Everytime I close money, I get a new file created on my hard
disk with the name "My Money Backup ++.mbf", where + indicates a number. I
always open the latest .mbf file to access the information. Now I have
purchased a new laptop and installed Money 2004 on that as well. I have
copied the latest .mbf file from my old laptop onto a diskette and tried to
open it from the new laptop in vain. Whatever I do, I get stuck at the
log-in screen, which asks me for sing-in name and password. I enter my
passport sign-in name and password and I get the following message
"The sign-in attempt for ****** was unsuccessful. Please try your sing-in
name and password again".
I can sign-in using the same name and password on my old laptop and as well
as hotmail.com and I can't do it on my new laptop. This is driving me crazy.
I need help badly.. Please anyone out there?
