The only problem with this strategy is that Microsoft sometime removes
desirable features (drag and drop, online synching) in their zeal to
'upgrade'.

Money 2002 to Money 2007 more then likely is not going to go easy If it is
asking for a password and you opened the sample file and sure the file is
upgraded completely which means you receive no more prompts while opening
the sample file. This leads me to beleive the 2002 did not create it and a
newer version did I suggest downloading the trial edition of Money 2004
setting your system clock back to 2004 and try to convert it there if it
goes into 2004 2007 will be a breeze but 2002-2007 usually will not work
without 04

Download 2004 here

It SHOULD work. YMMV.

You might want to try the time limited trial version of M07. It would let
you see a new version of Money. It would also confirm that the file can be
upgraded. Finally, it might shed some light on hat your present issue is
depending on what it does with your file in the upgrade process.

If you go this route, please just go buy a copy after the trial so you get
the CD. The download versions don't come with a CD so can be hard to
reinstall in the future.

Thanks for your help...I tried what you suggested and my file still wouldn't
open, so it looks like I may need to go out and purchase a newer copy of
Money...? I'm assuming a newer version of Money would open my 2002
file...That would work, wouldn't it? Thanks!

As Cal suggests, it may be that you're attempting to open a file using an
older version of the program. Perhaps both are '2002', but the copy you
last opened the file with may have been updated.

If both the file and the program are 2002, open the sample file, first.
Update online to download stock quotes. Money may update itself. Then try
to open your file.

All of this is out the window if updates no longer are allowed, due to the
age of the program and conditions of the End User License Agreement (EULA).

This would be expected if you were trying to open a Money file with
Money 2002 that was created by a version newer than Money 2002.

If that is the case, you would need a later version of Money.

Hello...hope someone can help me. I'm using MS Money 2002. My computer's
power supply died, so I copied my money file and backup from my hard drive
and put it onto my laptop. After installing Money onto my laptop, I'm now
attempting to open it. Problem is...all of a sudden, it says it requires a
password! I have never had a password on this account before, so naturally,
I don't know what it's expecting. Has anyone seen this before or can anyone
help? Thanks!
