Sorry I didn't have a better plan. But reformatting a hard disk without any
regard to preserving data files that are on it just is not something that
can be solved. People don't carry their paper filing cabinets to their
driveway, pour gasoline on them, set them ablaze, then ask where their files
went. What makes them think a computer is somehow different is a mystery to
me.

Money sync with the web has **NEVER** been advertised as an alternate to
keeping local backups. For it to be, it would require Money to put 100% of
your info on the web--which the present design does not do, as I understand
it. (I've never used it.) That would seem to be another profoundly bad move.

That may be, but it does not help. If Money is going to replicate the data
on the web, which has disturbing privacy implications anyway, then it should
provide a mechanism to say, "There is a discrepancy between what is on the
web and on my machine, treat the web information as correct and rebuild my
local data", or vice versa.

Alan.

You mean you didn't save a copy of your Money data file before you
reformatted the machine? Profoundly bad move.

I recently formatted my computer and reinstalled Windows
& the other programs I had.. I have been using Money 2003
for all of my banking records, and now do not have that
data. I know every time I logged out of Money 2003, it
would syncronize with the web... so I think the data is
still out there online. Does anyone know how I can access
it?
