If you didn't keep a copy of the trial version, then contact me offline.

Thanks for the advise. I wanted to export my accounts as QIF but
unfortunately MS must have taken the Money 2005 trial versions of its website.
Rgds, Dirk

Thanks for the help. The only problem is now that MS took the trial versions
off its website. Probably have to accept that Ilost my data.

If you were traveling to Australia, you could buy an International
English version.


Otherwise, if you were to install the international English trial
again on a computer, you could do QIF export from each account of
myMoney1.mny. Then File-> Import the QIF files --all at once-- into
any version.

If you want to do the QIF export/import, I would follow the steps
in http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;178830
except in the first step 4, I would suggest this: start the name of
the QIF file for the investment accounts with an underscore (_),
and start the name of QIF files for the cash accounts associated
with the investments with a letter. Thus you might have
_BrownInvestment.qif and BrownInvestmentCash.qif. This would cause
the investment account to be processed prior to the associated cash
account. When the BrownInvestment got created, you would specify
that you want to track the cash transactions. Then specify that
the cash transactions account for BrownInvestment was where the
BrownInvestmentCash.qif transactions get sent.

Then File-> Import-> RecoverAccounts the files ALL AT ONCE using
Ctrl+<click> to select files.

Of course you will use a different filename for the new file, and
you will have both versions to choose from when done. I would also
set up the backups to make sure they are using different names.

You won't be able to use the data file. There was (and this is a bit late
now), a French trial version too.

To convert, you'll need to export all of your accounts as QIF and then
import them into a new file created by your retail copy. However, you will
need to manually recreate bills and deposits, planner information, your
budget etc.

3 months ago I downloaded as free trial the International Version of Money
2005. I liked it and I decided to purchase the full version. A reply to an
email query to MS made it clear that it was not possible to download the full
version and that I would have problems purchasing the box version
(international/english) at a local retailer.
I live in France at the moment and decided to purchase Money 2005 in French
(only available version here). I assumed that I can use the data file
myMoney1.mny from the trial version. When I want to open the file in Money I
get an Error Message stating that the versions are not compatible.
Can you please advise whether there is a fix?
I would loose an important amount of data.
