An older version of Money cannot use a .mny file from a newer
version of Money.

When the newer version converted your Money 2005 file, it left a
copy of the file as it existed at that time named *.m14 . You could
copy that file to the old computer and open it with your office
computer, as long as that computer had already been updated to
version 14.0.*.1105 in the past.

Maybe. If the new version is Money Plus, you can copy the install
file via CDR or USB flash drive to the new computer. If you got it
by download, you should have kept a copy. If you paid extra, you
could have gotten an extended download period. Otherwise there is a
shorter time to download.

Alternatively, try adding a USB wireless adaptor. Perhaps you are in
range of a friendly neighbor.

Microsoft hasn't provided any way to get the Money updates besides their
internal methods. Can you do an Internet Connection Sharing connection with,
say, a laptop with a dialup ISP connection? You'd just have to network the
M05 pre-update machine to the laptop to make that go.

I'm unable to read a .mny file I created on my home PC (XP) on the (parish)
office PC (XP). I suspect that this is because I accepted the update offer
when I installed the office Money 2005 on my home PC (so I could do the
parish accounts). I can't update the Money software on the office PC, because
the network is being recabled and doesn't work at the moment. Is it possible
to download the update on my home PC and then install it on the office PC?
