I got the new 2007 version and it did work. As expected it offered the
warning about the business accounts, which my home data did not have anyway.
It brought in all my old information, now I just need to update a few days
entries and try to find the differences in this version as well as any
configurations that I may not like.

BTW the the box I got was a little different than the first one I looked
at. The first one offered a full refund if not satisfied and this one did
clearly state that it would import all "Money" files. I figured I was safe
with that if it did not work out.

Thanks again.

You could download the Deluxe trial to make sure. Pay attention
during the install if you don't want the older version to be
automatically uninstalled.

Thanks, that is what it looked like to me, but from the box and the MS
web site, it was not clear. My old version of the home version of Money
(older than SB version) did not even recognize the file.

Yes. You could use a newer version, such as Money 2007 Deluxe.

During conversion expect a warning that the business features will
not be supported in the file.

I need to use an existing MS Money Small Business file. I no longer
need the features of the Small Business edition. The problem appears to be
that the home MS Money programs can not read or import the Small Business
file.

I was a club treasurer and those duties required the features of the
Small Business version. so when I passed on those duties, I also passed on
the software. However, foolishly I discovered that nothing I have can read
my personal files. It appears that my older version of Money (for home use)
will not read the files.

While I know the home versions do not use some of the features of the SB
version, my personal data did not use any of those features. In fact no
account changes were made after I switched to the SB version.

Does only know what my options are. I would hate to pay the full cost
of the SB version when I have no need for the additional features.

Do any current version of Money (other than Small Business) read those
files? How about similar programs from other vendors? Any commercial
services who might convert the data?

Thanks
