Hi Doug

It sounds like "corruption" and if the Salv tools didn't work you might be
in trouble. Did you try running "msmoney.exe -s" without the quotes from
the run command?

If that doesn't work, try restoring your "old" diskette backup and in the
future use a different disk for each day of the week. I backup to both
diskette (different disk each day labeled Mon, Tues, Wed etc. I also back
up to my hard drive and at the end of the Name of my backup file I add
021304 (the date of the backup) and change the number each day so I have
plenty of backups to choose from. Believe me when I say that many times I
would have one backup corrupted as well as the main file but with my backups
methods I could usually find one that worked.

Money is a nice program but in my opinion not very stable and you CANNOT
over backup.

M2004 all of a sudden started acting up. I try to open the program. After
the password screen( or the first screen if I delete the password option) I
get a pop up box stating the above subject. I click ok and the program opens
and works with no apparent problems. If I click more info I get the
following:

Message: This operation cannot be performed.

Explanation
Usually caused by a corrupt file.

User Action
Run the Money File Repair tool to fix the problem.


I have run both the quick repair and the standard repair all with no luck. I
have tried restoring from the backup, with no different result. I haven't
tried the diskette version as that is 1 week old and I don't want to get the
same results and still have to reenter data. Any ideas???
Thanks
Doug
