Converting MSMoney 2004 file to MSMoney 2007

#4 05-25-2007, 09:20 PM

Was the M01 Standard file from a non-US version? (Not sure upgrade from non
*Business* editions to *Business* editions is supported.)

If you need help really desperately, have you considered opening a support
case directly with Microsoft?

I am experiencing the same problem converting MSMoney 2001 Standard file to
MSMoney 2007 Business and Home. The error message is: "Money cannot open this
file because it was created using a different version of Money."

I successfully converted the 2001 file to a 2004 version (the trial version
did not work), but experiences exactly the same problem when importing the
2004 file into 2007.

I need help!!!

Hmmm. My M07 Deluxe opened/upgraded my M04 file without further ado.

What M07 edition are you using? Deluxe?

Have you tried a File|Repair of a copy of your M04 file before attempting
the upgrade?

You say "tries to convert it but fails." Describe "fails": does it crash?
Emit messages? If message, what messages?

I've just bought MS Money 2007, formerly using MSMoney 2004. I try to
open my money 2004 file using money 2007 and money 2007 tries to
convert it but fails. Ive had a look on the Microsoft Site and found a
knowledgebase article which suggests Money 2004 and earlier files cant
be opened with Money 2006 and later. It suggests downloading a trial
copy of Money 2005, using this to convert the 2004 file and then using
Money 2007 which will read a 2005 file. Money 2005 tries to convert
the 2004 file and fails.

Anyone solved this problem or have a workaround?

PS: I let Money 2005 download the money program update before I used
it.
