That is exactly what is happening. By moving the file under my
account-documents folder, it seems to have resolved the issue.

Vista tries to not let a program modify a file under C:\Program Files. When
Money attempts to do so it is automatically redirected to your virtual store,
which is under C:\Users\<UserName> \AppData\Local\VirtualStore. If you are
modifying a file that already exists, a copy of it will be made in the
virtual store. I'll bet if you look there you will find a copy of your money
file. This is supposed to be transparent, but it sounds like you are
encountering one of the issues discussed in the following support note:

I actually ended up creating a new money file, storing it in Documents under
my account, then restoring backup file of problem file to new money file.
Everything seems to be working now but I am still curious as to why this was
happening. I know the money file and where it was located, I click directly
on it and it would revert back to the day I restored from my XP system.
Wondering if there are some permission issues with Vista and storing your
file under Program Files? Interesting to see if anyone runs into this issue
with Vista and Money 2007. Thanks for the feedback!

Are you just opening the Money program? Money uses the last file you opened
even if it is a backup.

Restore your backup; close Money then with My Computer or Windows Explorer,
navigate to the .mny file you just created and double click on the file
name. That will fire up Money and it will remember where it found the .mny
file.

Where is your file stored?
In "My Documents"? If not, try moving it there and open it from there.

I recently installed Money 2007 on Vista Enterprise with no issues.
Restored my backup file and everything working ok. Problem however,
whenever I close my Money and open it backup the file does not keep my
changes. I have verified the .mny file is not read only but the only way to
get my file back is to restore. I have to do this everytime I open Money as
it resorts back to my original .mny file settings. I have also verified that
I am local admin on the computer. Any ideas?
