Look to your backups. Search your drives for *.mbf

I am using money 2002 and cannot access my file. I tried the file repair
utility you spoke of, but to no avail. It says the file is corrupted or
something else. What do I do?

Thank you so much. Such a weight off my mind. Now I have since 1 April to
update - yes it has taken me this long to get around to it.

So there are two files of interest here: "My Money.mbf" and
"My Money.mny". I would copy those to a USB flash drive from as your
old user. Then copy from the flash drive to your MyDocuments folder
as the new user. That copying via the flash drive is to remove
ownership restrictions.

I would probably want to start with a repaired version of the "My
Money.mny" file. I would use the method in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/902466/en-us that is headed by "Run
the Standard File Repair utility in Microsoft Money 2000, in
Microsoft Money 2001, in Microsoft Money 2002, or in Microsoft Money
2003".

I have a login on my computer which has become corrupted. It has a corrupted
registry file. XP cannot open it. So I am using another login. However
this login opens Microsoft Money as a new user - even if I click on my old
"My Money.mbf" How do I get to my old data?
