I would try the free Deluxe trial first to make sure that is going
to work for you.

thank you for the reply.

I tried finding MS Money in multiple stores here (hoping for an older copy)
but couldn't find any. Looks like my only option is to buy one the next time
I am in the states.

I expect Money 2006 on CD is still sold in Canada.

You could try the Money Deluxe trial free 60 days as a proof of
concept, but you would have to provide a US address to buy it for
online download (go figure). If you plan to visit the US in that
interval that the trial is in use, you could buy a CD at a store.

Hi -

I too am having major issues with MS Money. I had MSMoney99 on my previous
computer (came installed - no CD). I had to get a new computer because my
previous one died. I have been trying to get a copy of MSMoney to install but
was told that they don't make it for Canada any more. There is one on the web
- MS Money essentials - that looks like it is for Canadians but I can import
any of my old MS Money files. I can't order any other version of MS money on
line because it doesn't allow Canadians to order. I got fed up and bought
Quicken BUT the imported files are coming in with the month/Day reversed and
they can't tell me how to fix it. Can anyone suggest ANYTHING to help me! I
have 9 years of data in MSMoney that I don't want to lose!

Since I have not had any luck with any of the files, and it looks as
though I will have to start with something else, has MS stopped making
Non-US versions of this software?

I would try the various Windows regional settings that might have
been used originally including a reboot for each try. Include
language and date format as well.

Note that during the process, a *.mn7 file should get created. That
is a copy of the Money 99 file that is being converted. I would make
sure you are starting with a fresh copy for each attempt. That is to
say that the first time you tried to convert Money 99 file
keith.mny, keith.mn7 would have been created. I don't know if
keith.mny would have been modified or not.

Sorry to hear it.

One more thing: is it possible that the original program was from
the UK or Australia or other non-US non-Canada country?

Thanks for your help anyway.

Yes.

Check that your computer is set for Canadian regional settings
before trying to convert your Canadian Money 99 file with the Money
2004 trial or Money 2005 trial method. I understand that it is
probably already that way, but check anyway.

If, on the other hand, if the Money 99 might have been the US
version, you could try the US regional settings.

If it does not work with the Money 2004 trial you could try the
Money 2005 trial instead, and vice versa.

Good luck. I am not very optimistic.

If you want to convert that file to a current version, see
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913108/en-us

Yes, it's very old but it did what I wanted it to. I have had to reinstall
my OS, and thus re-install Money 99, but since it can't download the
updates that were previously installed, it can't open my old files. Can
you point me to a location where I can get these updates?

I have tried the trial versions of the newer versions of Money, but they
won't read my files.

TIA
