| Re: New 2006 trial won't work with 2005 file This issue is documented many places. I suggest you figure out what localization your M03 version and figure out how to get, if available, a M06 edition of the same localization. I agree that Money should provide better support for changing localization. It doesn't. I also agree that the messages Money gives in these situations could be more helpful--though many users wouldn't understand better messages. But they aren't. Posting here 100 times won't change that. Migrating to Quicken is unlikely to do much for your M03 data, but knock yourself out if it will make you feel better. Most of us here care not in the slightest if you buy Quicken.

Any other thoughts? > I have experienced exactly the same problem - i downloaded the Trial Version and am also unable to "convert" my 2003 file to 2006 It fails with the "Money cant open this file because it was created using a different version of Money" - obviously it WAS a different version, hence the upgrade!!! Do I have to upgrade to Money 2005 to advance to 2006??? Not a wise move on M$' part if that is the case!!!!. The failure asks if a "Send Error Report" is to be performed, and when selected, the MS Money site reports: We're sorry There is no additional information about this issue in the Error and Event Log Messages or Knowledge Base databases at this time. You can use the links in the Support area to determine whether any additional information might be available elsewhere. ------------------------------------------ Thank you for searching on this message; your search helps us identify those areas for which we need to provide more information. Damn useless web site and product if it cant convert previous version files. Any M$ tech resources available to throw some light on this (ridiculous) situation? The process creates a backup Money.M11 backup file but does not complete, as indicatedf above. Regards Mike |

| Re: New 2006 trial won't work with 2005 file I don't think your issue is almost the same. If the shortcut on your desktop points to a Steve's Finances.M10 file, it needs to be updated to point to the Steve's Finances.MNY file. The Steve's Finances.M10 file USED TO BE the M02 Steve's Finances.MNY file. (Still is, in fact. It's just been renamed.) M05 copied it to a temporary file, renamed the old Steve's Finances.MNY file to Steve's Finances.M10--thus your shortcut is broken--and then upgraded the temporary file to a new M05 Steve's Finances.MNY file.

| Re: New 2006 trial won't work with 2005 file I have almost the same issue but I just bought Money 2005 and tried to convert my files from Money 2002. Thankfully I can open my files, through a convoluted channel, but when I click on the shortcut icon on my desktop labelled Steve's Finances (the way I opened my file in Money 2002) it won't open.

| New 2006 trial won't work with 2005 file Hi - I've just downloaded the new trial 2006 - by mistake actually - because i was having problems with the 2005 trial that was available just last week so I thgt I would re-d/load. Now Money is saying that it cannot convert my Money 2005 file into 2006 format because it was created in a different version. I don't have a problem paying for the software, but there's not point in my buying MS Money 06 if my 05 file won't work and has 12 months worth of data in it. Does anyone know why it won't convert my 2005 file? I don't want to loose all that information, and I would rather use the lastest version of the software if I can. Many thanks. |
