In Help, the spelling of "check" vs "cheque" would indicate a
US/Canadian version. Distinguishing UK from International English
versions is harder.

If you still have the old version to run, you could do QIF
export/import. That process has significant limitations, but it
would also result in a very clean file.

If you want to do the QIF export/import, I would follow the steps
in http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;178830
except in the first step 4, I would suggest this: start the name of
the QIF file for the investment accounts with an underscore (_),
and start the name of QIF files for the cash accounts associated
with the investments with a letter. Thus you might have
_BrownInvestment.qif and BrownInvestmentCash.qif. This would cause
the investment account to be processed prior to the associated cash
account. When the BrownInvestment got created, you would specify
that you want to track the cash transactions. Then specify that
the cash transactions account for BrownInvestment was where the
BrownInvestmentCash.qif transactions get sent.

Then File-> Import ALL AT ONCE using Ctrl+<click> to select files.
Specify "New or Recovered" account when asked.

Of course you will use a different filename for the new file, and
you will have both versions to choose from when done. I would also
set up the backups to make sure they are using different names.

I'm sure someone knows a better way, but if it writes the word "Check" with
a "ck", it is the US version; if it spells the word with a "que" it is not.

You can only upgrade to a version from the same country. You cannot upgrade
from a Canadian or Australian version to a US or even a UK version. The
latest Canadian version is 2006, UK is 2005, Austrialia, I don't know.

I want to upgrade from Microsoft Money Financial Suite OEM Edition Version
11.0 to latest version but on trying to open the money file in Microsoft
Money 2007 I get the following error message:

File was created by an incompatible version

Question 1: As the old version was pre-loaded into the Computer when I
bought it in India, I don't know which country US/Canada/UK/Australia this
software belongs to. So how can I confirm which country is it for?

Question 2: And, how can I upgrade it to a version of Money from US or UK.
