Since this failed after only one or two days, you should have a backup.
When you converted your data file to M2008 format, Money created a backup of
your M2005 file with an extension of M15. Make a copy of that file and name
it something like M2005.mny. Then double click on that file. It should
open Money, perform the conversion to M+ format and you should be good to go
with only a few days of date to reenter. And perhaps the first thing you do
after that is to increase the number of backups that are made automatically
to at least 10 to avoid the overwrite problem.

I would start with File-> RepairMoneyFile-> StandardFileRepair
level 2.

If that does not work, I would disable the account for online
access, and then set it up again. Expect to perform a merge then.

Hello,

I had to update to Money Plus after my money 2005 became unsupported and was
thus no longer usable. I installed Money pluss without error and used it
without error for 1 day, maybe 2 days. Now tonight I've spent an hour
debugging connection failures of OFXHTTP500 when tyring to pull nwe data from
my bank.

Long story short it appears the money file is corrupt. I tried creating a
new one and it connects and downloads from the bank without issue. I have
tried uninstalling and reinstalling money. I ran both a simple and standard
fix on the old money file, and no errors are found. I don't have a good
backup because the default settings over-wrote the last 3 backups, as I
closed and re-opened money more than 3 times.

Is there anything else I can do to try to get the money file in a good state
or do i now have many hours in front of me starting from scratch on a new
file? I really would not look forward to re-categorizing all my transactions
for the past 2 years.
