If Help-> About in Money shows 17.0.*.1415, then that *.mny you tried
to repair is corrupted. Restore the backup, and lose that 20 minutes
of transactions. If that backup does not work, restore the
next-oldest.

When you restore, instead of restoring to the "default location",
you can Browse to your Documents folder and select a new name for
the restored file.

Can't repair it without specifying the password.

I don't think I have read of anyone posting that symptom before.

You could try a File-> RepairMoneyFile-> StandardFileRepair level 2 on
that *.mny file. To get to that menu, you could open any file first.
Alternatively run salv.exe, that is located in the Money install
folder, typically
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money Plus\MNYCoreFiles"

Running this command *with* the quotes would typically do it:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money Plus\MNYCoreFiles\salv.exe"

Cal, it looks like I wil have to do that...unfortunately it still
looks like I will lose about 20 minutes of transactions...which could
be signfiicant in trying to recreate them....the timestamp on my
"real" file is 3:39...the time stamp on the nearest backup is 3:17.

This is the second time I've had a major issue with password handling
in Money...wish I knew why and how because the last time was a
nightmare.

Thanks for your input.

I suggest Restore of the most- or second-most-recent backup.

Fortunately Money Plus (2008), by default, keeps backups from your
latest 4 closings. The filename incorporates the date and time of
the backup.

On 9.1.08 I opened my Money 2008 file the way I always had...with my
LiveId email address and password.

Today, I tried to open the same file. When the login screen is
presented it offers only the Password field for standard login. I
don't know that password.

On the File menu my options are:
New
Open
Convert Quicken
Restore

How did Money "disassociate" my LiveId login from the file?
Is there any way to "reset" the file back to using the LiveID form of
login?

Thanks,

Ken
