CTRL + <click> is absolutely vital as it stops inter-account transfers being
double counted. In fact it is mandatory to keep the accounts in line.

Thanks again,
I spent all of yesterday importing everything into money 2004, then I backed
it up and closed it. Opened it again and it had errors all through it. Said
that every acct had $-12,586.25 (can't remember exact amt it said). Tried
restarting computer and re-opening but same error, so un-installed it and
went back to using my trusty money 2000.
BTW I didn't get a choice of keeping both copies active because I soon as I
use money 2004 it gets rid of money 2000 (says it when installing 2004).

I will try this next time :-) might save some time.

I will check this when I get the time and patience to re-install 2004 :-)
Is there only 2 versions?

Thanks again
Ange

If you want to do the QIF export/import, I would follow the steps
in http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;178830
except in the first step 4, I would suggest this: start the name of
the QIF file for the investment accounts with an underscore (_),
and start the name of QIF files for the cash accounts associated
with the investments with a letter. Thus you might have
_BrownInvestment.qif and BrownInvestmentCash.qif. This would cause
the investment account to be processed prior to the associated cash
account. When the BrownInvestment got created, you would specify
that you want to track the cash transactions. Then specify that
the cash transactions account for BrownInvestment was where the
BrownInvestmentCash.qif transactions get sent.

Then File-> Import ALL AT ONCE using Ctrl+<click> to select files.
Specify "New or Recovered" account when asked.

Of course you will use a different filename for the new file, and
you will have both versions to choose from when done. I would also
set up the backups to make sure they are using different names.

If Help spells "check" rather than "cheque", I expect you have a US
version.

Thankyou, yes that was the error I was receiving.
I am in the process of trying to export/import, but will take a while.
I have found that some entires have been doubled/tripled up on after
importing. Not sure why?
Can you tell me how do I find out what version of Money 2000 & 2004 I have
so I can try to get the right version in future?
Money 2000 v8.0.0.1015
Money 2004 v12.0.120.617
Thanks heaps
Ange

I suspect there was an error message about "incompatible version"
that you did not tell us about.

Money cannot open a version localized for another country.

http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;178830
Get a later version for the original country, or consider QIF
export/import.

What exactly is the error message? If it is "Incompatible version" see

Hi,
I am currently using money 2000 because I have been unable to upgrade to
money 2004, it says it can't do this, so does anyone know where I can get a
download/trial of money 2002 to bridge the gap?
Or is there another way to do this?
Thanks in advance
Ange
