This is not due to any lack of robustness in Money upgrade routines. This is
due to your choices of versions over time and Money design choices not
supporting conversion between localized versions. The FAQ on incompatible
versions:
---
Q): Why do I get the "incompatible versions" message when upgrading my data
file?

A): This problem arises from trying to convert a file from one localized
version (say Money UK) to another (say Money US.)

The workaround it to export accounts using QIF and re-import them. The fix
is to obtain a newer localized version for the same country as your original
data file.

HOW TO TURN $6.00 into $6,000 READING THIS COULD> CHANGE
YOUR LIFE!
IT REALLY DOES WORK!

I found this on a> bulletin board and decided to try it. A
little while back,
I was> browsing
through news groups, just like you are now, and came
across an> article similar
to this that
said you could make thousands of dollars> within weeks
with only an initial
investment of
$6.00! So I thought,> "Yeah right, this must be a scam",
but like most of us,
I was> curious,
so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to
each of> the 6 names
and address
stated in the article. You then place your> own name and
address in the
bottom of the list
at #6, and post the> article in at least 200 newsgroups.
(There are
thousands) No> catch,
that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a
few> people first, I
thought about trying it.
I figured: "what have I got> to lose except 6 stamps and
$6.00, right?" Then
I invested the
measly> $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!?... within 7 days, I
started getting money in
the> mail!
I was shocked!
I figured it would end soon, but the money just> kept
coming in. In my first
week, I made
about $25.00. By the end of> the second week I had made a
total of over
$1,000.00!
In the third> week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still
growing. This is now
my fourth> week and I
have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's
still> coming in rapidly.

It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have> spent
more than that on the
lottery!!
Let me tell you how this works> and most importantly, WHY
it works... Also,
make sure you
print a> copy of this article NOW, so you can get the
information off of it
as you> need it.
I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly,
that> you will start
making more money
than you thought possible by doing> something so easy!

Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully!> (print it
out ordownload
it.) Follow the simple
directions and watch> the money come in! It's easy. It's
legal. And, your
investment is only> $6.00

IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it
is> not illegal; and
it is 99% no risk - it really works!
If all of the> following instructions are adhered to, you
will receive
extraordinary> dividends.

PLEASE NOTE:
Please follow these directions EXACTLY,> and $50,000 or
more can be yours in
20 to 60 days.
This program> remains successful because of the honesty
and integrity of> the
participants. Please
continue its success by carefully adhering> to the
instructions. You will now
become part of the
Mail Order> business. In this business your product is not
solid and
tangible, it's a> service. You are in
the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many
large> corporations are happy
to pay big bucks for
quality lists. However,> the money made from the mailing
lists is secondary
to the income which> is
made from people like you and me asking to be included in
that> list.

Here are the 4 easy steps to success:
STEP 1: Get 6> separate pieces of paper and write the
following on each piece
of> paper
"PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US $1.00
bills or> Canadian
Loonie and
place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so> the
bill or coin will not
be seen through the envelope
Next, place> one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal
them. You should
now have 6> sealed envelopes,
each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase,> your
name and address,
and a $1.00 bill or coin.What
you are doing is> creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY
LEGAL! You are
requesting a> legitimateservice
and you are paying for it! Like most of us I was a> little
skeptical and a
little worried about the legal aspects of
it> all. So I checked it out with the Post Office (1-800-
725-2161) and> they
confirmed that it is indeed legal.

Mail the 6 envelopes to> the following addresses:

#1) R Christiana
2525 Eastview Dr
Harvey,La 70058

#2) M.STETTNER
951 Washington Blvd. Suite> 505
Roseville, CA 95678

#3)G. Demunter
Wilgenveld 5
1500 Halle
Belgium

#4)K. Boni
111 North 12th Street
Lehighton, Pa. 18235

#5) H. Micael
Rua José Filipe Alvares, nº21, 5º DT SUL
Sé
8000 Faro

#6) J. LAUBACH
285-25 LOWER NIS HOLLOW DR.
LEHIGHTON, PA 18235


STEP 2: Now take> the #1 name off the list that you see
above, movethe other
names> up
(6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as
number 6 on> the
list.

STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep> this
article as close
to original as possible. Now, post
your amended> article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think
there are close to
24,000> groups) All you need is 200,
but remember, the more you post, the more> money you make!
You won't get very
much unless you post like crazy.>
This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to
Title 18> Sec. 1302
& 1341 of the Postal lottery laws.
Keep a copy of these> steps for yourself and, whenever you
need money, you
can use it again,> and again.

PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains
successful> because of the honesty
and integrity of the participants
and by their> carefully adhering to the directions. Look
at it this way. If
you are of> integrity, the program will continue
and the money that so many others> have received will come
your way.

NOTE: You may want to retain every> name and address sent
to you, either on a
computer or hard copy and> keep
the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that you are
truly> providing a
service. (Also, it might be a good idea to
wrap the $1> bill or coin in dark paper to reduce the risk
of mail theft.)So,
as each> post is downloaded and the
directions carefully followed, six members> will be
reimbursed for their
participation as a List Developer with $1.00> each.
Your name will move up the list geometrically so that
when your> name reaches
the #1 position you will be receiving
thousands of> dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for
only $6.00 ($1.00
for each of> the first six people listed above)
Send it now, add your own name to the> list and you're in
business!

---DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO> NEWSGROUPS---------
---
Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire> letter to
do your own
posting. Simply put your cursor at the> beginning
of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of
this> document, and
select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy
the> entire letter into the computer's memory.

Step 2) Open a blank> 'notepad' file and place your cursor
at the top of the
blank page. From> the 'edit' menu select 'paste'.
This will paste a copy of the letter into> notepad so that
you can add your
name to the list.

Step 3) Save> your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you
want to do your
postings in> different settings, you'll always have
this file to go back> to.

Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try
searching for> various
newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards,
chat> sites,discussions.)

Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this> article
as a new message by
highlighting the text of this letter> and
selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject,
this will be> the
header that everyone sees as they scroll through
the list of> postings in a particular group, click the
post message button.
You're> done with your first one!
Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do> is jump
to different
newsgroups and post away, after you get the> hang
of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each> newsgroup.

**REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE
MORE> MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!
BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF> 200**

That's it! You will begin receiving money from around
the> world within days!
You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box
due to> the large amount of mail you will receive. If you
wish to stay
anonymous,> you can invent a name to use, as long as
the postman will deliver it.> **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE
ADDRESSES ARE
CORRECT.**

Each of the 5> persons who just sent me $1.00 make the
MINIMUM 200 postings,
each with> my name at #5 and only 5
persons respond to each of the original 5, that> is
another $25.00 for me,
now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM> posts
with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring
in an> additional
$125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around
and post the> MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only
receive 5 replies each,
I will> make an additional $625.00!
OK, now here is the fun part, each of those> 625 persons
post a MINIMUM 200
letters with my name at #2 and> they
each only receive 5 replies, that justmade me
$3,125.00!!! Those> 3,125
persons will all deliver this message
to 200 newsgroups with my> name at #1 and if still 5
persons per 200
newsgroups react I will receive> $15,625,00!
With an original investment of only $6.00!> AMAZING!

When your name is no longer on thelist, you just take
the> latest posting in
the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00
to names> on the list, putting your name at number 6
again. And start> posting
again. The thing to remember is: do you
realize that> thousands of people all over the world are
joining the internet
and> reading these articles everyday?,
JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you> afford $6.00 and see
if it really
works?? I think so... People have> said,
"what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the
money? So> what!
What are the chances of that happening
when there are tons of> new honest users and new honest
people who are
joining the internet and> newsgroups everyday
and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at> 20,000
to 50,000 new
users, every day, with thousands of those> joining
the actual internet.

Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY> and this will really
work!

Your best bet is to get the trial version of Money 2004 and install
into a different folder. That way both versions will work. Assuming
you like Money 2004, buy that. You cannot have both open at the same
time. The last-installed will be associated with the file-types such
as .mny, .mbf, .qif, .ofx, etc.

Note that the converted file cannot be accessed by Money 2000. While
there is an automatic backup, you may want to convert a copy of your
Money 2000 file.

See
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/r...DisplayLang=en
and choose Money 2004 Trial Version for download.

All of your data (except for Tools|Options settings) is in the .MNY file
that is named and stored as and where you told Money when you first setup
the file. Newer versions of the same localization will upgrade this file.
M04 is now current. There are many other postings on this same topic with
additional information.
