That's rich, isn't it?

Thanks for the feedback, glad we could help. Pop back next time you have a
Money issue. And have happy holidays.

Dick
I started all over again with a fresh install from XP on up. I installed
money 2005. I then navigated to the money folder and opened the Sample file.
The update process launched and ran. I restarted Money, which then insists on
updating the file it had been working on -- in this case the sample file.
Once it was done, I opened the file I hadn't been able to open from within
Money through the open menu. . .easy as pie.

By the way, tech support via chat for Microsoft Money attempted to help, but
didn't know this was a recurring issue and therefore tried to tell me the
file was corrupt (It wasn't). I will point them to this solution so they can
help the rest of the users who hit this particular wall . . .

Thanks again!

Krista

In that case, let Money 2005 create a new Money file, clicking
Decline in the process. It will do an update from the Internet.
Allow time. Close Money. Then open Money and check that
Help-> About... says you then have version 14.0.*.1105.

Then you should be able to open or restore your existing file.

That .m14 file would have been produced by Money 2006 converting
your Money 2005 file. I assume you downloaded and installed the
Money 2006 trial at some point. You could open that file in Money
2005, but it would not have any changed you did since the
conversion.

Probably.

Default Money 2005 doesn't recognize password

My laptop recently died and I have since installed Money on a new laptop.
When I try to open my money file (.mny), I get prompted for my email address
and password, which I provide. However, it doesn't recognize the password and
refuses to let me in. I am fairly certain I am providing the proper password
because I wrote it down. Moreover, I haver since taken steps to do assorted
fixes to address the issue -- I allowed 2005 to upgrade itself. I opened a
test file and turned off requiring a password, etc. Still I get prompted when
I attempt to open the file. When I attempt a repair, it chokes as well and it
checking the log, it seems there's nothin wrong with the file aside from the
password issue. FWIW, I have a .M14 file on my computer. Suggestions? Would
upgrading to 2006 resolve the issue (fingers crossed!)
