Thank you for stating the obvious, which was not obvious to me when I
became disturbed that I could not work with my Money info on XP and
2000 Pro.
I do appreciate the view from outside my box.

No mention on the box that M07 **works** on Win2k Pro is because it
**doesn't** work. The box describes the limited combinations that work, not
the much larger set of combinations that don't work.

Microsoft's view has always been that Money is designed for home users/home
use and that Win2k was a business operating system for use by businesses.
Only businesses continue to use Win2k. The few home users who ever used it
are all on WinXP by now. By your logic, why isn't it a "crime" that M07
doesn't work on Windows 3.1 or Windows 95?

I've never known any program that is backward compatible? No earlier Money
version will open a later version of Money. It doesn't make sense to think
it would. There are changes in each new version that the earlier version
doesn't know anything about. As for running 2007 on Windows 2000. I would
think that it should, but since that is an earlier version of Windows it is
possible that it wouldn't. Microsoft should be able to tell you that.

Money is not backwards compatitable. You can not open the 07 file with the
05 program.

Money 2007 Deluxe is loaded on Home XP computer but will not load on
my Work computer which has Micrsoft Professional 2000. Money Tech
Support and the Box says it loads on XP. (no mention that it won't
load on Professional 2000)

Then I try to restore Home Moneya 2007 backup onto my remaining Work
Money 2005 program. It restores but "will not accept the password".
My password is same for both 2005 & 2007.

This leaves me with not being able to follow my Money on my work
computer.

Does anyone have a work around or way to have the passoword work when
restoring a 2007 file on a 2005 program.

Last night I loaded Money 2005 on myHome XP which also has Money 2007
and I still can nnot get mylatest files up into 2005.

Money 2005 is able to load on Microsoft 2000 Professional. It is a
crime to Money users that 2007 will not load on 2000 Profesional /
and 2005 will not backup from 2007

Your help and concurrence
