Could you quote the message and where you are seeing it? I've never heard of
such a message from Money.

There are many problems/potential problems with the export/import route and
some stuff like loan accounts and account details just don't transfer this
way, so getting it to work directly would be much better. Can you transport
over the original .MNY file to the new machine rather than a backup? (For
reasons unknown, backups differ from the originals.) You might also consider
trying the salv repair tool on the file before trying to upgrade it. You
might also read http://umpmfaq.info/faqdb.php?q=115.

Good luck.

thanks for the response ---
I waited until Money brought up the message that it
wasn't responding and I needed to kill it -- not sure if
it was a timed default message or not --- In any case, I
did figure out I could export each one of my accounts and
re-import into Money 2004 after re-setting them up --- In
the process right now so we'll see how well it works, but
it seems to be working --- just a hassle ---

How long have you waited? It could take a long time--like tens of minutes.
While it is in this state, it will be "not responding." This doesn't mean
it's dead, just hat it's busy.

Just upgraded to a new computer with Money 2004 --- Have
transferred my money back-up file to the new computer ---
Everytime I try to open using Money 2004 it begins the
process of converting the file and then times out (stops
responding)

Any ideas??? Extremely frustrating as I don't want to
lose 6 years of financial data ----

Thanks
