Assuming you are using M2005 there was a big download patch that won't be on
the original M2005 CD. Check your version number (help > about) and if it
does NOT end in 1105you need the patch. Best way to get this is to open up
the sample.mny file and let M2005 go on line and down load the patch. THen
you will be able to open your .mny file.

I have recently bought a new computer and am trying to move my existing
Money file to the new machine.

I've copied the file across without any problem, but when I try and open it
I get the message 'money cannot open the file or cannot open it, possibly
because it is a read-only file or you do not have permission to change it,
or your disk drive is write-protected.'

I've checked and the file is not read-only. Does anyone have any ideas how
to solve this?

Thanks
