| Thanks for the instructions! This indeed fixed my inability to back up at closing! Yet, what is crazy is that if I manually backed up from the File menu, it would do it correctly just not at closing. But now it does it as it should! Thanks again.

| Almost had a heart attack when I went to close Money 2006 and got a message stating the path name was invalid. The error message occurred when it tried to backup the money file as is the case with the option set to automatically backup. Anyway, to save anyone who will likely experience the same problem when they upgrade from XP to VISTA, the solution was to simply click the SETTINGS button on the backup prompt, then you'll notice that the path to the backup says "Documents and Settings" which is a virtual folder on Vista. Money 2006 does not see this folder but Vista supports it and knows to map it to the new USERS folder - which Money can see. All you do is click BROWSE then click CLOSE. Thats it. Vista automatically updates the correct path to the backup file that once sat in Documents/Settings in XP. Done. Hope to save others some time. |
