I will give that a try and get back. Why doesn't it say that anywhere? Is
that something particular to Vista? I *am* the administrator and yes I got
the message but I couldn't figure it out, I'll try the right-click straight
from the executeable. As far as the .mny file location, I tried it on the
desktop, my personal folder, the documents folder...

in the meanwhile, I reinstalled Monehy 2007 *and* Quicken 2007 tials- and
quicken is synching remarkabley well with my WM 5.0 PPC... hmmm... don't know
what MS was thinking when they killed Pocket Money... I just might be
migrating back to Intuit after half a decade on Money... :-/

There's a couple of things to note. a) your .mny file must NOT live in the
Program Files folder and b) first time you run Money you need to right click
on the .exe and "Run as Administrator"

I do not respond to any emails that I have not specifically asked for.

Moving money 2005 file to new Vista system- decided good time to try Money
2007, right? So I backup 2005 .mny file on separate system, online and on
flash. download 2007 and heed the warning that the file created cannot be
opened in an older version (not much of a "trial" eh?). Honestly, can't tell
that I'm even using a different program. Not inclined to pay $30 for
something I can't even discern as new except for the "2007" in the title bar,
I uninstall, and reinstall my 2005 onto the system. Get the old unaltered
back up file and restore it.

Doesn't work (surprise, surprise.) $35 to talk to a live person (yeah
right) Read some post here. Realize that my 2005 installation is "fresh"
and hence not updated. Create a dummy file, update and then it recognizes
and opens my old 2005 back up. I'm happy. Close program.

Next day. Start program. Won't work. Repeat previous day's dummy
protocol. Works. close program. Restart program. won't work. "Error
reporting has stopped working windows will now close the program and advise
if a solution is available". Pull hair, wash, rinse, and repeat. WTF? And
considering how I'm screwed out of my FAVORITE PPC function- mobile money-
should I migrate to Quicken and Pocket Quicken? Is there a fix for my 2005
woes? Why do you make life so complicated for me Bill?!
