Are the versions of Money on the two computers the same? This is a typical
reason fro that error appearing. What happens if you do it the other way
around? Do you get an upgrade prompt?

Hi. I have enjoyed my Microsoft Money program and
installed it at work and on my home office computer. I
used to be able to back up at work and take the infor and
restore it on my home computer. Now, every time I back up
to a floppy and attempt to restore it at home a window
tells me the file is protected by a password (which I
never set) and I do try my familiar passwords, but cannot
for the life of me open the files any more. Suggestions?
