But be aware that Money08 will update your file to a format that only it
can read. It will do a backup of the Money04 file in the process, but to
be safe, make your own backup before you start. It's not fun when the
upgrade fails and you have a corrupted file.

You can install the new Money program in a separate directory. You have to
LOOK VERY CAREFULLY at the install dialog boxes to figure out where to sneak
this in. The last version installed will own the file type associations.

BUT: IF you just start the new install, it will want to take you existing
file and upgrade it to the new file format. That's a ONE WAY conversion. If
you don't want this, copy the file to a new name and double click it as the
first thing you do after installing the new version.

I'm not sure why you'd want to upgrade but keep the old version and "close"
your M04 data file. Why not just keep running with the same file under one
version after the other??!?

Yes. Pay attention during the install to select that Money Plus
Deluxe not uninstall the previous version.

I want to close my Money 04 and install the newest money program. I want to
be able to access either one when I need to. Can two seperate Money programs
be installed and run. When I updated from Money03 to Money04 it over wrote
the Money 03. I dont want that to happen. I want to be able to run both, but
seperately.
