They are progressively killing quotes. The third party downloads in M02 and
below probably can't be killed by Microsoft but surely depend on the third
party feeling the interface is worth supporting. I wouldn't put it past
Microsoft to try and persuade them otherwise.

Ok, another 20 years is enough for me. I'll either be dead or senile by
then.

Money 2006 versions are North American versions.

Money cannot open a version localized for another country.

something is = "Money can't open this file because it was created using a
different version of money. To open a different file or create a new file, on
the file menu click open or new"

any suggestions?

Perhaps http://umpmfaq.info/faqdb.php?q=180 will help.

As to M02 living forever, I wouldn't bet on it.

There is a solution but I don't remember what it is. Something about
needing a newer version of Money to convert your 2002 file first. Then 2006
will recognize it. I think there is a file you can download for this
purpose. Search the FAQ or this list as the answer has been given many
times.

You should save your 2002 disc, you will probably be able to sell it. I
still use 2002 because it does not expire and I can download my transactions
forever. Ver 2006 automatically expires and downloads are blocked forcing
you to upgrade even if you don't want to and even if the then new version is
worse than the old one.

You might even want to switch back to 2002 so save copies of your 2002 data
file at least for a while.

Hi,

my (backup and money 2002 editio) files won;t open in my newly installed
2006 edition (deluxe). It tryies to convert it but it fails displaying a
message saying that its a previous version or something. Any suggestions?
