You are working with a *.mny file I assume. You could try the
salv.exe downloadable via
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;902466
to see if that finds your data valid.

Nice thought. But although the file registered successfully I still get the
error when trying to convert the 99 database.

And when I attempt to "repair" the error response is "Invalid database", if
that helps.

I wonder if
c:\windows\system\regsvr32 MSJET35.DLL
would help.

Furthermore again, I do have MSJET35.DLL in the SYSTEM32 folder, and the path
is set to that folder. So that isn't the solution either.

And I am not going to purchase a previous version of 2000-2005 so I can
upgrade to the "free" trial. Doesn't really make the trial free then, does it?

Furthermore, I see that there is a problem upgrading from 99 to 2006 on a
Windows 9x machine. For the record, I am running WinXP, so that shouldn't be
my issue either.

Same problem, but going from Money 99 to the trial 2006. I'm pretty sure my
Money 99 is the US localized version since I live in the US and bought it in
the US. And the downloaded 2006 trial from from the Microsoft.com website.
So, not really sure this is a localization issue.

I am having the same problems, except I am converting from Money 98 to '05. I
have transferred my old backup file to the hard drive. I do have the 1105
Update version. I have read all the articles suggested and still cannot get
Money 05 to accept my restore - it "quits responding".

What this message really means is that you are trying to convert from a UK
version to a US one and this cannot be done as the various versions are
heavily localised to allow for varying fiscal rules.

There is a work around see http://money.mvps.org/faq/article/96.aspx

I'm trying to evaluate Money 2006 however the update fails when converting
my Money 2003 file.
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

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.
