You want to start totally from scratch? Yes, you can do that.
File-> New can do that, plus I am pretty sure that starting with a
new file is an option during Money 2004 install.

If you want to remove older non-investment transactions from your
file before or after conversion, look at "archive" in help. That is
what Archive does. Note that there is no way to re-integrate the
older data. The archive file is a copy of the file as it existed
before archiving. The continuing Money file has older transactions
removed.

Sure. It just depends on how much work you want to do. You can start a brand
new file (File|New) but will have to recreate all of the account
information, any investment information, and so on. The alternate involves
archiving--which for lots of reasons I don't recommend--or deleting lots of
transactions and setting new starting balances.

My wife and I would like to upgrade to Money 2004, but we
we like to start off our account registers without the
historical register data going back to 1999. If we
upgrade can we do so without have to bring forward all of
our old account register info?
