That would seem to imply that the Money file that you have came from
Money 2005 or later.

You may have to go thru an intermediate step if coming from 2003 or

From 2004 should work directly.

I recently fixed a computer with a failing harddrive. I was able to create an
image and navigate but not get the restored image to boot to windows....

Long story short, after a fresh install of windows xp and Money 2004 (same
version installed before), I copied the "My Documents" folder from the image
to the new OS. That folder contained all the backups for Money. Now when Mr.
Customer opens the backup file, his password will not work.

I guess the reason for a question I am sure has already been answered.....I
will be explaining how to fix it via e-mail to an unsavy individual. Just
looking for a surefire way to get this going. I wont have actual hands on
access to the PC.

Already suggested buying a newer version...like 2006+....Will this work for
sure?
