I don't know what you mean. If you are referring to size, I am
pretty sure you cannot have a Money 2000 file that is only 10
kilobytes.

I would do a Start-> Search for *.mny, * mbf. That should find the
candidates. By setting the detailed view after the search completes,
you can sort by size and dates.

The .mbf files are backup files. Let's hope you find something you
had overlooked.

Windows ME w/Money 2000; yesterday I got a bug from the
internet and had to reinstalled the all original software
but saved the data. I was never good at keeping back up
files. All my MNY files are all dated 1/24/04, I exhausted
my efforts and now just have created many many file
copies. I only know the one that is 10K is the one I want.
When I run Money and I try to open any of these files I
get a message that it may be write protected or I need to
try another archived file. But it happens with every one.
I really think I messed up this time. I am hoping there is
a fix so i can read my data.
