Thanks for the link, Ken!

Well, that's a pain in the butt, isn't it? So much for Money's own guidance
about saving to an external source - obviously the program written when
floppies and - ooh, exciting - CDs were the only backup medium. Obviously
the idea of a USB or external backup drive never crossed their minds.

Anyhoo, dusted off the 'old' 1GB USB drive and used that without problem.

Money 2008 may solve the problem but I'll hardly blow the bucks to solve
this one and only issue for me. This should be part of a free Money update
at any rate.

Thanks again!

I believe the problem is fixed with version 2008.
