I am not sure if you are being humorous. Assuming not, then I was> Do I have to make 5 more ? proposing that with Money 2006 or Money 2007, you could let several (perhaps 8) backups accumulate on the flash drive. This would be a fairly small percent of the capacity of the average flash drive sold today. Then at some point you would prune away the older ones, perhaps leaving your latest 3 backups to the flash drive. So there would be no hurry to get 8 accumulated, but it would happen eventually with continued use of Money 2006 or Money 2007. - quote - > "Cal Learner-- MVP" wrote: > > In microsoft.public.money, rodeo wrote: > > > > Ok there is a new problem....when I go to backup onto USB key > > > > > of which there is about 1.5mb on it ...well when I go to backup it > > > just creates another 1.5mb making it 3.0mb it does not overwrite it > > > > > how do I solve this ? > > > Make sure the USB flash drive is much larger than 3 MB. > > > After you have about 8 accumulated backups, delete the oldest 5 > > using Windows Explorer. > > > > > > > > > > > "Cal Learner-- MVP" wrote: > > > > > > In microsoft.public.money, rodeo wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > So I have files in Money - when I go to update them.

( as in MS Word etc) and when you exit Money or switch to open different Money file. To "Save As...", copy the file, using Windows, to a different name while Money does not have that file open. |
