Upgrade from Money99 to Money2004

#2 02-04-2004, 07:30 PM

Did you read the replies the OP got?!?!?!!!!!?

Don't File|Import! Use File|Open (for a .MNY file) or File|Restore (for a
..MBF file or a series of them on diskette).

If this doesn't solve your problem, please identify the exact error message.
It you are getting a message about "incompatible versions" you are NOT
having the same problem as the OP.

I had the same problesm as Hardy (with 2003 version).
Have someone found a solution? Have Microsoft provided a
solution?

You do not File-> Import to do the conversion. Do File-> Open, or
double-click the .mny file from Windows Explorer while Money is
closed.

If you do a QIF import, you will want a loose QIF from each account.
You will File-> Import all at once using Ctrl+<Click> . But let's hope
the conversion works.

A really non-obvious thing: Richard Bollar has discovered that it
is important that the investment accounts be imported first in the
process. How? Name the QIF files such that they come first
alphabetically. So you could, for example, lead off each
investment account's QIF file name with an underscore. That will
alphabetize before numbers and letters.

Let's hope you were doing something wrong.

Hi there,

I have Money99 installed on my old notebook and it works
fine. However, I was never upgrading.
Now I finally got a new notebook and installed Money2004.
I am trying to import my old mny file, but it just doesn't
work.
I also tried to export my money information from money99
into a qif file and then importing it into money2004 -
without success.

Trying importing the mny file causes an error dialog to
popup saying something about unsupported version 7.

If I try to import the qif file I get:
QIF Statement Import stopped because the file was not
recognized as QIF. Either a line was long or a supposed
transaction had too many lines to be QIF.

Any ideas? Does this mean I lost my whole transaction
history?

Cheers
Hardy
