The backup files are named *.mbf and can be searched for that way.

I don't know what the referenced "C:\backup.mny" file is, but I have
no backup.mny on my system. I would guess it was a copy of the money
file under another name.

I had just sent a repy to your problem to the newsgroup
board. Check there for the answer that I think that would
help.

Hello,
From what I have gathered on my money issues, is that the
backup.mny is necessary to have alone with .mny I would
suggest to use the find/search utility. Type in where to
search or find the word backup.mny This should help you
see where the file is located at on the hard drive...once
found, see if you can move it back to the money program
folder. Hopefully this will help, provided the backup.mny
has not been deleted from hard drive. Hopefully you backed
this file up as well.
Sincerely
Charles

Anyway, one thought that comes to mind is that you could always restore
from your floppy if that is current anyway. Have you tried that?

I just upgraded from Money 2002 to 2003. I backed up my .mny file on hard
disk and floppy beforehand. When I try to restore the .mny file, I get the
message "Money cannot locate "C:\backup.mny" or cannot open it, possibly
because it is a read-only file or you do not have permission to change it or
your disk drive is write protected"

It is the correct file, in the correct location, not read only, I do have
permission to change it, my drive is not write protected. I've moved it,
renamed it, tried opening it from disk. Nothing. Is there an
incompatibility problem between 2002 and 2003 versions?

Thank you.
