That's good.

You might also consider buying a retail version. Sams and Costco and
probably others have Money with a DVD (or CD maybe) and without
rebates.

I downloaded the new Money 2007 and lo and behold, no problems opening
the file. I still don't understand why the password wasn't working
before, but is now. But heck, spending $29.99 (after rebate) on the new
product is cheaper than having to buy some sort of password cracking
software, or pay MS for tech support. Thanks!

You could download the free 90 day trial and use both in
parallel. Copy your current Money file to a different name, such
as gaga07.mny, and let Money 2007 convert that copy. Stay alert
during install to make sure the trial does not uninstall your Money
version. Expect a radio button where you will need to change from
the default. You should be able to run both versions, one at a
time.

If you decide to stay with the older version of Money, after trying
2007, I suggest you do not uninstall the trial unless you are
prepared to reinstall the older version. That file association
thing is the thing that routes a QIF or OFX to the given version of
Money when you click on such a file.

I am on Microsoft Money 2005 and have had the .NET password enabled for
sometime. Last month when trying to login (mind you the "save password"
box has been checked for eternity) I kept getting a message that either
my e-mail and/or password were incorrect. I went so far as to
change/update my password on the .NET site and still could not open my
file.

I was able to restore my file from a backup (which accepted the
pre-filled password) and keep working. However, this morning I just
tried logging in again and same problem. However, when I try to restore
the backup, it's not accepting my pre-filled password (or any other
password). I am at a loss.

Do you think upgrading to 2007 and trying to import the file will work
- or will that block me with a password error as well??
