Try doing a search from Windows for files named "*.mny" The file name for
the Money data file has a ".mny" extension. This search should find any file
with that extension. Search your entire hard drive for these files. If the
file is still on your hard drive, this should find it. There should be a
Search option in your Start Menu. Check the Windows help if you need to find
out how to do the search. If you have rearranged your folders in any way,
Money may not be able to find your file. If you find a ".mny" file simply
double click on it and Money should start up and load the file. Hope this
helps.

You need to give a lot more info. Did your Money data file disappear from
your hard drive or did you lose part of your data from within and existing
file? Do you have a backup file? What exactly were you doing when your data
was lost? What version of Windows are you using?
