Default I still use Money 98 is this wrong?

Why would it be wrong? You know the old saying, "if it
ain't broke." The bottom line is if it does what you
want it to do then be happy. UPGRADING can be a pain as
these new programs have so many bugs. I run 2001 MM and I
am not about to try their latest version with all the
prohblems I read about on here. My works super and never
had a problem. (knocking on wood) If you do decide to
upgrade, GOOD LUCK!

What were the incompatible products? Did you uninstall BOTH bits of Money 04
from add/remove programs (the program itself and the system pack).

It is possible to run 04 and 98 alongside each other too , but I guess you
installed 04 over 98?

Make sure you have a copy of your .MNY file safe, then uninstall 98. Delete
the c:\program files\microsoft money directory and reboot. Then install it
again (into a new directory if you want to) and try again.

Sounds like you need to check the Customized date options on the report in
question.

Also, still using M98 is not "wrong". But it may not be wise. M98 was the
single buggiest versions ever, in my experience. It also is increasingly
unsupported and the single most important patch ever released for it has
been removed from Microsoft servers.

Default I still use Money 98 is this wrong?

I began using Money 98 back in fall of 97, I believe, and
to this day, have refused to upgrade my Money program to
the newer versions. I believe I tried Money 2000 at one
time and hated thje format and found it confusing over my
Money 98. So I have stuck with it every year. Every Jan
1st I go to main page ( after backing up on Cd rom), and
delete my banking info. then put back in my banking info
(new) , this then starts me off fresh for jan 1st with
balance in my accounts ,and all my bill paying options are
still there for the start of hte new year. Now my problem
is, today(2004) when I want to run a "report", I get dates
of jan 2000 to 2001, and the message of " there is no data
available. Question: IF I download a version of Money
2004, will the transfer of my 4 months of info go
smoothly? and is 2004 more friendlier to use than the
predessor of 2000????
