Default Re: Help importing Money 2007 data into Money Plus

The backup restore worked, but the updating the data with the bank has not
(yet). Is there a way to reset this going forward to pull the account data?
I have successful update the accounts manually from the bank (manually
downloading the data between the last backup and today). Let me know your
thoughts. Thanks.

Well, I think I've got something now. Before the *mbf would not restore (but
that was with MEss). I have money plus prem installed now and things seem to
be working. The backup is restored and I am sync with my accounts to update
the missing data between the backup and today. If this does not work. I am
sure I will post another response (other than a headline "man strangles
laptop" over money plus)...

Uninstall Essentials and return it. Money Plus Deluxe (or Premium or
Home and Business) will convert earlier files.

It's not. It's pointed out at various stages that it will not
convert files from other versions. However it should be more
prominent.

http://www.microsoft.com/money/Produ...ve_tab=Compare
points that out in the "* Important note – Microsoft Money
Essentials will not be able to open previous Money (Money Deluxe,
Money Premium, or Money Home & Business) or Quicken files" at the
bottom. On the other hand the requirements page should probably
state that too, I think.

Are you sure you tried to open the right file? (Or did you just open a
remnant file from your sojourn into MEss?)

You might want to search your system for every file with .MNY and .MBF and
..M16 file extensions.

Do you have a backup copy somewhere? This transition/file upgrade (M07D -M+D) has been painless for the __vast__ majority of users.

Default Re: Help importing Money 2007 data into Money Plus

You were right on the Essentials. I upgraded to Premium and tried to open
the Money 2007 file. It said it converted it, but the account list is gone
now. Does this take a while? Should I look somewhere else for the account
list? Since my old data is not visible, I assume nothing was converted or
imported into the new version. Can I do a manual import of the data?

Looking for more suggestions here to get all my data in the same program!!
Thanks.

See other reply for suggestion.

Why would they offer it? Because they thought it was what some of their
customers wanted.

I receive an error message that says "Money Plus Essentials" cannot convert
this file. Suggestions? Why would Microsoft offer an upgrade that cannot
convert old files to the current version?

Default Re: Help importing Money 2007 data into Money Plus

I was afraid of that.

Money Essential == MEss = Bad Stuff.

It won't convert any "real" Money data file from the > Essentials versions.

It's aimed at people who want to think they are managing their money but
really just want a one-stop web-site-like-experience with Microsoft's ads
instead of someone else's.

You should get your Money back for Essentials and buy Deluxe or higher if
you want to upgrade a real Money data file.

Make sure the *.mny file is not in ProgramFiles. Then
File-> Open your *.my file with Money Plus open, or open Money by
double-clicking your *.mny file from Windows Explorer.
