Move Money from 1 computer to another

On Vista, you can't just save it anywhere. For instance, saving it in
Program Files or folders therein will not work well at all. If you made a
folder "My stuff" in D:\, that would work.

In addition to Watson, I'd like to add, that you can save your file in any
location which is most comfortable to you, only thing you need to do is to
tell you MS Money, where your mny file is and will be located.

For instance, I have my own folder on my D disk named "My stuff" where I
keep all my working files. So in case if I need to reinstall my computer or
make backups of my personal documents and files, I take care only about this
folder - back it up and I'm relatively safe.

Export / Import has nothing to do with what you want to accomplish.

Find your .MNY file and move it to the other machine. Put it in your
Documents folder there. Once Money is installed, double-click on the data
file you copied.

Assuming a recent version of Money, install Money on the home
computer. Copy your *.mny (and your more recent *.mbf backup files
maybe) to a USB flash drive.

Copy those files to your Documents/MyDocuments folder. Open Money by
right-clicking the *.mny file in Windows Explorer and choosing Open
(or left double-click the file).

If this is Mo

I just installed MS Money a few weeks ago. I have it on my work laptop but
need to move it to my home pc for obvious reasons. I have seen on MS support
site that if you do a export then import that you lose categories and other
things. What is the best way to do this without losing data? Also, could you
do it from the backup file that I have done automatically?
