What was the subject of the question? When did you post it? What site do you
think you posted to? (Some sites shamelessly pass off this Usenet newsgroup
as a "forum" so they can show you their ads. Your reply would make this seem
unlikely but I trust nothing from Usenet as definitive.)

You might want to wait ten minutes and the refresh the page. Your post looks
VERY recent and they don't show up instantaneously.

You also appear to be looking fro a very narrow set of information about
something almost no one who posts here has tried. Good luck. I hope someone
is able to help you.

Hi Max -

Turned out that my old computer actually had Money 2002. The CD that I
have is for Money 2000. I installed this version on my new computer, but or
course, it can't read the file from a later version of Money. As I said in
my last reply, I have no idea how the old computer got Money 2002, but there
it is.

So, make sure that you are using the same, or later version of Money on
the destination computer.

Thanks for your help. Well, you hit it -- the old computer has Money 2002 --
Version 10.0. The new computer has Money 2000 -- Version 8.0. No idea how
that happened, but I guess it time to upgrade.

Thanks again for taking the time to help.

So if you start Money on the old computer, what version does it say
it is when you do Help-> About?

If you install the Money Plus free trial onto a computer and try to
convert a copy of your old *.mny file, you could determine what the
actual version was based on the backup that Money automatically
leaves:
Ext Version

*.m17 2008 plus
*.m16 2007
*.m15 2006
*.m14 2005
*.m12 2004
*.m11 2003
*.m10 2002
*.mn9 2001
*.mn8 2000

I expect that somebody with access to your computer upgraded at some
point...

I understand the theory, but I don't think that would have been the
resulting error.

I don't think so.

I am using the same CD to intall onto the new computer that I used to
install onto the old computer. So, it's the same version. I tried assining
a password to the file on the old computer, but it wouldn't recognize that
password on the new computer.

The old computer has received updates, do you suppose that the one on the
new computer, which is fresh from the CD, is actually too old to be
compatable?

On the old computer I have IE 6 and the new one has IE 7. Could that
have anything to do with it?

That would typically mean that the *.mny or *.mbf file that you are
attempting to open is from a version newer than Money 2000.

You need a version at least as new from the same country.

Now if you find a *.mbf file, that would be a copy your old Money
2000 file that has been converted to a newer version. Note the date
on the file for a clue as to when that occurred and how fresh the
*.mn8 file would be should you choose to open that in Money 2000.

Hi -

I received a new computer and I am moving all of me software from the old
one before I get rid of it. I installed the copy of Money 2000 that I had on
the old computer. When I copy my msmoney.mny file to the new computer and
attemt to open it, it says I need to enter the password for the file.
Problem is, I never created a password for it, so I can open the file. Any
suggestions?
