I have used money 2005 for a year. Couple days ago I had to format my hard
drive and install Windows XP a new. I saved my money mny file and the backup
to it in the safe place. When I installed MS Money on my new system and tryed
to open my mny file it displayed this error:
------------------------------------- Money cannot locate 'filename' 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.
If you have chosen the correct file and it cannot be accessed, you will need
to click OK and open your most recent backup file.
If the file is being used by another application, close it in the other
application and click OK to try again.
---------------------------- I checked, it's defintetly not read-only, my drive is obviously not write
protected. I tryed to restore from back-up and my getting the same message
when enter where I want to back-up. I tryed to reapir the file. After
repairing it successfully repaired and created a new file and dispalyed a
message that no info was lost, but when trying to open the new file - SAME
PROBLEM!!!
What could that be?
Any help will be highly appreciated! Thank you!
