 Re: Acessing the MNY file from VB.Net No doubt. I am convinced that the #1 reason MS doesn't open the thing up some is fear of support costs.

| Re: Acessing the MNY file from VB.Net And I can certainly understand that as well, but opening it up doesn't necessitate allowing, say, write access or the ability to play with the DB structure. I've never wanted to put stuff in programmatically, but it sure would be nice to be able to get stuff out in more comprehensive and flexible ways than MoneyLink.

| Re: Acessing the MNY file from VB.Net I'm not sure I get your point. Both TaxCut and MoneyLink seem to get in there, but they had lots of help, I suspect. My suspicion is that it would be relatively difficult to get in there without help as there are many layers of obfuscation like MSISAM--what even is it?

| Acessing the MNY file from VB.Net Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to access Money's DB programmatically (e.g. API's or using ODBC). Thanks for any hint. Phil |
