Well, I already suspected that as well. That's why my first recommendation
was to consider the suggestions in http://umpmfaq.info/faqdb.php?q=104

Thanks, Dick, but I already know that the problem is in the data file - in
fact I have managed to restore my last backup datafile (from the beginnibng
of April) and have got a working record there, having restored a good bit
manually from my paper records (Bank statements etc). Unfortunately I have
lost about 3 to 4 weeks data in my day to day cash file records These are all
in the corrupt file (which I have stored away in case someone can come up
with a solution) but these contain a lot of detail I simply cannot restore
without getting the data from the dodgy file.

Consider trying the repair tools described in
http://umpmfaq.info/faqdb.php?q=104.

Try opening the sample file. This may help confirm whether your installation
has the problem or your data file has it.

Try flushing the IE cache.

I've posted this on the Money UK site but with no reaction ; I wonder if I
can reach a larger audience on here - I'm desperate to sort this out, thanks.

--------------------------------------------------------- On running Money, I received a message "Money has encountered a problem and
needs to close" - no indication of what the problem was. I couldn't get past
the splach screen

I found article 836197 in the knowledge base which seems to covers this ;
did what it advised, even to the extent of doing an uninstall and re-install,
but no joy. I
then copied the data file across to my laptop (on which Money was working
O.K. but unfortunately hadn't been updated since January) and when I ran the
programme with the main file got the same message. Reverting to my older
("laptop") file, all loaded O.K.again.

I tried repairing the file, using the Standard setting and received the
message "Invalid Databse".

Unfortunately, whilst I thought that I had Money set to backup each night it
seems that hasn't been the case for a month - I don't know why but i'll
investigate that if and when I can get this problem sorted. In the meantime,
can anyone suggest how I can recover this file or at least the entries that
are in it ?

Thanks
