Thanks for solving the mystery. Sometimes it makes you wonder why they change
things and make them more difficult.
I appreciate your help.

Basically, it's broken. As was M05.

You can just delete the files. When M06 asks for a floppy, put the diskette
in the drive, open a Windows Explorer window, point it at the diskette
drive, select all, delete, say OK to Money. For the next floppy, insert,
r-click Refresh, repeat...

We upgraded from money 2004 to 2006. In 2004 we were also able to backup to
our disk over and over without any problems. In 2006, when we try to reuse
the floppy disk, it says not enough free space on this disk. We previously
never had this problem. Is there something in 2006 that prevents reusage of
the floppy. I do not like having to format the disk every time i want to back
the program up.
thank you.
