That was exactly the situation. Since the last time I did this, I upgraded
by desktop. (Same ole laptop) Being on the road, I downloaded trial version
of MMoney 2004 to solve the problem.
Thanks for your prompt response and for your accurate advice.

You must have the same version of Money on both PCs. If your desktop is
M2004 and your laptop is M2003 you will get this message.

It is a damnfool way of telling you that Money files cannot be read by an
earlier version.

I copied my MS Money file onto a USB jump drive from my desktop PC to bring
it over to my laptop. When I try to open the file on my laptop, I get a
prompt to enter password. I did not (knowingly anyway) set a password to
protect this file.

Now I'm on the road, in need of accessing this file being asked for a
password and, without having set one, I seem to be out of luck.

Has anyone heard of a password being set by itself and/or do you have any
suggestions for any workarounds?

Thanks for your help
