I lost access to my money files. How can I regain access?

#3 04-13-2006, 03:30 AM

Sorry for the delay. Yes, I did upgraded to Money 2006, but as soon as I
installed Money for PocketPC,ActiveSync couldn't connect to the new money. So
I didn't enter any information and uninstalled instead.

How can I get the backup to work?

Thank you,

Angela

Do you mean you upgraded Money on your desktop to a newer version - for
example Money2006?

Money, like most software, is not backwards compatible. ie you cannot use a
data file made with a newer version of the program than the one you are
using. When you upgraded, part of the upgrade procedure should have been to
create a backup of the data file for your previous version. For Money 2003,
I think it should have a .M11 extension (eg MyMoney.M11). However, you will
have to reenter any data you added with the newer version.

I've been using Money 2003 since 2003. I decided to upgrade and I did, but
my PDA couldn't connect to Money, so I decided to go back to Money 2003. But
now I cannot access my files. The window says that my password is incorrect.

How can I get access to my 3 years of financial information?

TIA,

Angela
