copied onto a read-only CD, then copied from that back to your hard drive,
the file's attribute may be set to read-only.

File-> Restore the backup file, but NOT to the default file
name. Browse to a spot and specify a DIFFERENT filename. Then
while viewing the register of the problem account, look at the PDF
file. Find where the difference in the Balance starts, and you
have located the problem transaction.

If you have the old .mny file, better still would be to File-> Open
that file.

Probably, but I'm at a loss as to what.

Let's get to a case we can both understand.

What kind of Money file do you have? (Money Backup, Money data file,
multi-part Money backups (names include D1, D2, etc) etc) What type of media
is it on? (CD-ROM, floppy, multiple floppies, My Documents on hard disk,
etc) How did it get there? (written directly there by Money, copied there
from a file on the old computer, copied from a CD-ROM written on old
computer, etc) What version of Money was it written with? Are you sure? Why
are you so sure? What version of Money are you trying to get to use it? Does
that version work with its own Sample data file? Does that version create a
File|New in the directory you want to use? If the target version is M05,
have you done an Internet Update since installation? Are you sure both of
these versions are for the same localization (I.e., Money for US or Money
for UK but not crossing over.)

When I loading it is asking me where to load the file, I'm assuming to go
under C and programs etc to Money..Is that something I'm doing wrong?

Any other thoughts on what could be wrong here..

Don't Import. Restore.

Default Can't upgrade my backup info from money 2003 to 2006

Help anyone..My computor crashed and I lost my money 2003 program. So I went
out and bought 2006 thinking that my back up file would upgrade all my date.
..the message I recieve is that the back up disk made from 2003 is copy writed
etc... It won't recieve the data when I try to import it... I sure don't want
to update all my date and would appreciate any ideas on why this is not
working ... tks..
