Convert 1999 Cdn data to 2004

10-19-2003, 05:47 AM

I believe it's a Canadian vs US version issue. US version (which, AIR, is
what the trial is) can't work with a file from a Canadian version. If you
really want to try it out, you could open your file in your Canadian 99
version, export the accounts to QIF files, then open Money 2004 and import
those QIF's.

The other option would be to just buy the Canadian version and take
advantage of the 30-day money-back guarantee.

I have been a user of the Canadian MS Money program for 4
years now. I just downloaded MS Money 2004 and installed
the 60-day Trial Version. During the conversion, nothing
asked me for which country I wanted the system set. When
I tried to access my pre-existing data from the 1999
system, I got the message, "Money cannot open this file
because it was created by an incompatible version." Is
this a US vs Canadian issue, or is it more basic file
format incompatibility? How do I transfer all my history
to the new version? I don't want to lose all my
transaction history!!! Please help. Thank you.
