Except for the palpitations of "cannot open the file" and the little
dance to find the renamed file, it worked. Thank you Bob.

No you have to use normal Windows file handling. Browse to the file with
Windows Explorer or My Computer, right click on the file and select Rename.
Don't forget to retain the .mny suffix or Money won't open the file in
future.

Yes, on both counts.

I would not put a space on my Money file. The reasons include that I
would have to enclosed the name into double quotes to refer to it.
Now if I only browsed to the file, and never type the name, that
would not be a consideration.

Also, some older apps may not be able to handle the name that way.
In the case of a Money file, that is probably not a problem.

What I failed to ask was "rename from within Money 2006".

That goes back to DOS days when it couldn't cope with spaces and thought
that anything after the space was a second file name. So Bob Peel.mny was
regarded by early DOS/Windows as two files - one named Bob and one named
Peel.mny.

History lesson over - you can use spaces but as there is always a
possibility (but not with your .mny file!!) that you might want to swap
files with someone still using Windows 3.1 you perhaps ought to use an
underscore as Bob_Peel.mny.

Sorry for the highjack, but since we're on the subject, is it ok to leave
spaces between words when naming or renaming a file?....I have always heard
that it's better leave no spaces in file names.

Yes.

It is better to show the extensions, so I would like to think of
renaming aaa.mny as bbb.mny.

Is it possible to rename an active file from aaa to bbb without losing
all its data?
