First, locate the *.mn9 file and rename/copy it to Artist02.mny or
some such. That *.mn9 file is a copy of your Money 2001 file as it
existed at the time of conversion. Then open Money 2001. Click
File-> Open within Money 2001 and browse to open Artist02.mny. Close
Money 2001. Reopen. Note that Money 2001 opened Artist02.mny
automatically.

If you don't have a handy icon to open Money 2001, create one.

Now the file associations for OFX and QIF will also be with Money
2007. That could be changed, but it cannot be associated with both.
However you can open the version of Money you want to use, and do
File-> Import to bring the file into your preferred place for this
time.

It can. If you wanted to change which version opens by default when
you click on a *.mny file, you could. The easier way to make that
change is to start with
Start-> Settings-> ControlPanel-> FolderOptions-> FileTypes

You might want to create an XP restore point before working with
that, in case you want to undo the change.

Thanks for the quick response.

I made sure that 2007 didn't uninstall 2001. But like
all of MS programs, it made itself the default.
For instance, when I click on the Sample.mny file in
2001, 2007 boots up (and wants to import it).

I, for the life of me, cannot fathom why MS cannot
allow two programs to co-exist. That is very, very
annoying as I know it will take me at least a week to
set up 2007 with the accounts I wish to use for accounting,
etc. And doing that part time will mean removing it each
and every time I need to access 2001. And I do not wish
to import 2001 files into 2007...I want to start clean.

I was hoping for maybe a quick registry fix or something
along those lines.

Maybe. If so, you can then reinstall Money 2007. Pay attention
during the install to select that Money 2007 does not uninstall the
earlier version.

You might be able to restore to an XP restore point before you
installed Money 2007. You would then probably still have to
reinstall Money 2001 to get it to work. Check and see. Then install
Money 2007,and select that Money 2007 does not uninstall the earlier
version.

Hi.

I have used MS Money 2001 since it came out and only
use it for a few checking accounts.

A friend gave me his copy of MS Money 2007 H&B as he didn't
like it. Can't say I blame him. His business computer, like mine,
is not connected to the Internet for security reasons.

Anyway I have used QB in the past and I hate that, so I decided to
install 2007 and test it. So far I have only played with the invoice
module (the one in QB sucks) and planned to give the program
a workout after the 1st of the year. BUT, I need to continue using
2001 and I can't. Nothing happens when I click on it.

I put the 2001 CD back in the drive and was going to do a re-install
(thinking I might have messed something up) but I get a grey box
message that states "The current installed version of Money is newer
than the version on this CD" so I know that 2007 is the culprit here.

Do I have to totally uninstall 2007 in order to keep using 2001
or is there a work-around?

Thanks.
