Money 99 happily spans multiple floppies. I would be surprised if MS
removed the feature in later versions.

Many of us don't view this as a deficiency. Money needs its own CD burning
engine like a guy needs a pigeon.

You say "it is supported by MS OSes." Name any that predate XP that support
it at the OS level. And note that XP does not writable optical disks (with
the exception of some DVD-RAMs as I understand) as general read/write file
systems.

When Mt. Rainier technology gets into the OS and into our burners, this will
all change.

Bob

As an MVP, please lobby MS to fix this deficiency in
Backup functionality .

I guess my file is smallish. But its backup is 4Mb. So I
suspect nobody can backup to floppy disk.

CDR/CDRW is not a new technology.

It is suppoirted by MS OSes.

Please let us know how you go.

You can't do it directly. You need to backup to hard disk and then burn the
CD from there.

I'm assuming he's referring to his CD-R. That's my question -- how do
I backup Money 2003 to CD? The drop-down in the backup only offers my
floppy drive.

Also, do you know how I can add the new symbol for the Toronto Stock
Exchange (I think it's TSX) to my Portfolio watch list. It's not
listed under markets

Thanks

We need to know what the D drive is on your system. On mine it is a second
hard disk - so for me the answer is yes!

Money can backup to disk or Floppy/removable devices recognized as
full-service file systems by your operating system. We can have no clue what
D: represents on your system.

Thanks. JP
