thanks I rebooted it appears to not of solved the issue. However, in my
feeble way I started trying to figure out why it was not backing up to my
flash drive when I discovered in my documents many back up files of my money
program. Checking dates several had the same date, which is understandable as
I tried backing up several times. It seems for some reason, the back up
process has changed to backing up to my documents instead of my flash drive.
I checked the settings and it seems the flash drive is selected for
destination, however it creates a new back up file in my documents. Some of
the back up files there have the latest information some dont.
I deleted some of them because they were duplicates, I am also creating
more "my money" files. I currently have my money, my money2, 3, and 5, Not
sure how this happened. Have not figured how to elminate them other than to
do so out of my documents folder.
So this clears things up maybe you can help. I even renamed the file on my
jump drive to see if a new file would be sent there. for some reason it
appears if I have checked things correctly (and Im not sure of that) my back
ups are not being sent to my jump drive even when sometimes the light on it
flashes.
Help?
and thanks

If you have not rebooted your computer lately, I would try that
first.

I would try opening the Sample.mny file from your Money install
folder a few times. If that works, I would make an extra copy/backup
of your Money file and then try a repair.

So would that be Win98 or XP?

I have been using this for some time. Today when I entered my data for
transactions and went to exit it supposedly did an auto back up. However,
none of the new data was saved, on the back up drive or my HDD.
I re entered the data again, this time did not back up to my secondary
backup, just closed the program, went back and my entries were there, closed
and backed up to my external jump drive as normal, went back to the program
and none of the entries showed, opened the program from my jump drive and
same thing none of the new data was there.
any suggestions,
thanks
