Default Re: can't use backup file

Maybe it is just a read only. Especially if it was on optical media. Try
changing the attributes by right clicking on the file itself.

When you restore from the backup, try not restoring to the default
location. Instead Browse to the your documents folder, and choose a
new name for the file.

If that backup is from Money 2001, Money would not be able to use
hat backup. That would, however, normally give a bogus error about a
password.

Default can't use backup file

I accidentally removed Microsft Money from my Windows XP
system. I re-installed money 2000 and am now trying to
restore from my money backup. But keep receiving
message that my money.mny file is read only; however, it
isn't. Any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong?

I may at some point upgraded to Mondy 2001. Is it
possible the problem is I'm trying to restore a backup
from 2001 and can't do that on Money 2000?

Help...

Thanks
