I can back up to a CD-R, but I don't know if you can.

See FAQ available at http://www.bollar.org/msmoney/ for information.

So I guess that my question of can I backup to a cd-rw is

out of the question.

When I back up my files I save original file and backups to the

c:\money folder and manually copy the file to a folder on the desktop.
I then backup the entire folder (contains other files) to a 750MB zip
disk. But Money only knows it is backing up to the c:\money
directory.

If you come out of money can you copy files to the Zip drive?

Did you install any new software (Turbo Tax?) that may have
shut off access to the zip drive?

Finally did you put a zip disk in the zip drive?

check under File > Back-up
then when you exit do "don't backup" option
it's a few more picks but it's just a few more picks.

I have been corresponding with Microsoft Money Online Support about
backing up Money to a Zip drive and after several days and passing
information back and forth Microsoft is about to give up, so I thought I
come to the experts!

I have been a Microsoft Money user for more than 4-years now and for most
of that time I have been doing backups to Zip a drive as the removable
disk drive nearly everytime I conclude a session with Money. Within the
last couple of weeks Money has stopped backing up to the Zip drive, and
the only drive listed in the removable drive selections is the A: floppy
disk.

Within those couple of weeks I changed the system configuration by
removing an old Epson Scanner and installing a new Epson Scanner. The
new Scanner uses USB 2.0 and even though I have six USB connectors on the
backside of this computer not all of them are USB 2.0. This caused me to
move practically everyone of the USB devices around until I finally had
the new scanner connected to the USB 2.0 port. I believe it is during
this process that I lost the ability to backup Money to the Zip drive.

Since the time I lost the ability to backup Money to the Zip I have
reinstalled Money 2004, and removed and reinstalled the Zip disk and
Money still only lists the A: drive for removable disk backup.

I suspect that something I did during moving USB devices around has
caused a change in the registry that prevents Money from seeing the Zip
drive even though the operating system disk manager recoginizes the Zip
as removable media.

I sure would appreciate any help that might point to a solution to this
problem. TIA!
