1. Edit the whole collection of QIF files to remove unwanted dates.
Expect the transactions to be chronological. If in doubt, you could
keep some overlap, expecting to manually delete the duplicates.
Don't forget to do both the Investment transactions and cash.

2. Import the edited files ALL AT ONCE as a recovered account. This
will allow Money to recognize transfers and the relationship between
the investment and cash end of transactions.

3. Inspect the files, and delete/void possible duplicates.

now that I'm using the QIF export/import, is there a way to automatically
delete the multiple entries I'm getting?

ok...thank you for your prompt response...I am in the process of QIF Import
and Export...but I think I have gone about it the wrong way. I think I should
restore back to when I stopped using MM2002 and then only import from there
rather than trying to do it all from Money PLus

Yes, but that would involve QIF export and import.

ok...that will help, but I will lose all the data entry during the trial
period. Is there another way around this without losing all that data?

Money Plus kept a backup of your Money 2002 file before converting.
Copy that *.m10 file to a *.mny filename and open that with Money
2002. It will be the same as it was at the time of conversion.

I am having a similar problem with Money 2002. I downloaded the trial version
of Money Plus Deluxe to see if there were any significant changes to 2002. I
decided that there wasn't anything significantly different, so I went back to
MM2002. I have tried to restore my current Money Plus backup into MM2002 and
it prompts me for a password. Enter the password and it tells me it is
incorrect. I tried restoring the same backup file into Money Plus, and when
it prompts me for a password, it accepts the same one I tried to use for
MM2002. Getting frustrated at this point. Any help?

Once again, for the archives: Downloading the trial edition of Money
Essentials (MEss) will not help open a file from any other version edition
of Money. It's incapable. You need Deluxe or higher to open files created by
ANY Version/Edition of Money besides MEss.

Thanks for the help...you're absolutely correct! I can't tell you how many
hours I've spent trying to work around this problem, so thank goodness for
your expertise!

I suspect that your Money file was from a version newer than Money
2004.

You would need the Money Plus Deluxe trial, rather that the Money
Essentials trial that I suspect you downloaded.

If you tried the Money Plus Deluxe trial, you would expect to find a
*.m12 file created as a backup of a converted Money 2004 *.mny file.
You would get a higher number for that m1* extension if the
converted file was from a later version.

Money Plus Deluxe will keep multiple backups on your hard drive-- 4
by default, but you could increase that. In addition, you can have a
scheduled backup with multiple versions kept. I suggest USB flash
drives. It's nice that you had that Dell DataSafe Online, assuming
you get things going again.

I had to format and thus lost all of my data. Fortunately, I was able to
access the information from Dell DataSafe Online and now I'm trying to
restore to Money. When I try to restore, I am prompted for a password. I
don't have a password and have tried various combinations. I've never used a
password when working with Money before and don't want to use one. How can I
get around this?

I tried to download the trial version of the newest Money, but it doesn't
accept data from older versions.
