Be warned that there is a major flaw in the US version. It can't spell
"cheque" correctly! :-)

On a more serious note it can't cope with GST (if this matters to you).

I do not respond to any emails that I have not specifically asked for.

If you are using the trial version of M2007, you are using the USA version
(assuming it is not the Japanese version <g> ). In my opinion, you are
better off using the '05 Australian version and starting over. BUT if you
are happy with the USA version, you can download and install Money Plus
(2008) which will convert your 2007 data file and you can continue to use it
as is. In order to do that you have to purchase it via a credit card and
give a (fictitious) address in the US. People have used 1600 Pennsyvania
Ave., Washington, D.C. sucessfully (that's the address of the White House).

Money files are NOT backward compatible. This is Money's (lame) way of
trying to tell you this.

There is no way--at least no way that does not amount to going pretty close
to starting over--to take a Money file of version X and change it to Money
version < X format.

How desperate are you?

1. Money 2005 can't open a file created by Money 2007. Ain't gonna happen,
no way, no how. In general, no older version of any program will open
files created by a newer version.

2. The Australian version of Money (any year) won't open a file created by
another country version of Money (any year).

My recommendation is to export your data from the 2007 version to QIF
files, then import them. See older threads in this group for details on
how to do it.

Hi

I would very much appreciate it if someone can help me out.

I recently tried MS Money 2007 (downloaded trial version), found its quite
good. But in Australia, they don't sell this version but only Money 2005 , so
I bought a copy of 2005. When I tried to open the Money file (the 2007
version), it keeps asking me for a password, but I don't use password for any
of my files. Can someone please shed some light?

Cheers

Shirley
