If the backup is in 2004, and the version you're trying to open it is in
2007, then this may not work. You could get a trial version of 2004
(http://money.mvps.org/downloads/trials/default.aspx), read the backup data
into that (remembering to reset your date before installation so the trial
version will work). Then save the .MNY file and install 2007 to open the
file in.

i am using ms money 2007, i used to use 2004. i am running windows xp

my old computer crashed but i had used 20 floppy disks to backup my money
file. i have tried restoring the backup through the restoring backup option
but i get an error displaying that my mbf file is corrupted or is not a money
file. i have tried opening the sample money file and restoring it that way,
did not work. i did backup my money file to another hard drive but that was
in 2004. i can open that file fine but i need my data from the past two
years. any ideas?
