Continuing Vista money file saga

#1 07-09-2007, 01:08 PM

Thanks. I read the previous threads over the last 60 days, and my money file
was always in My Documents. I will try always starting it from the money
file and see what transpires.

Using M2007 on a Vista 64 machine with none of your problems. I did suffer
from the .tmp scenario until I moved the .mny file out of Program Files.
Rather than putting it into My Documents (once bitten etc) I created a new
folder.

BTW once you have recreated your .mny file do not just start Money but
rather navigate to the new .mny file via Computer > C: > My Documents and
then double click on the .mny file name.

Again, I opened Money 2007 on my Vista Ultimate 64 bit machine, and it
couldn't find the money file. There was a temp file in my documents that had
a similar size, so I did a repair and that was my money file. This happens
every 30 days, and I am somewhat convinced that Vista does some automagic
cleanup that makes this happen. Opinions?
