Amazing... it works! :-)

(I would have never guessed)

Many thanks -

What regional settings were you using when you ran the file under your
previous install? Try changing back to those settings, then try to open the
file.

hello,

I have used for years Microsoft Money 2000 Deluxe (Canadian edition)
without problems and I have kept the original CD.

In the past year I have also used it without any problems on a Win XP Pro
platform right up until last week.

For reasons unrelated to MS Money, I have re-formatted my hard drives, re-
installed Win XP Pro and all my software, everything looks fine with one
exception only (!!): when I start MS Money 2K (without any problem) and
then try to open my Money file, I get the following error message:

"You are trying to open a file that has encrypted information. This file
cannot be opened with this version of Money".

The problem is *not* the file - I have sent it by email to another MS Money
2000 Deluxe user and she was able to open just fine.

Does anyone know how to solve this?!? I have years invested in this file...

Thanks!

Pat
