There probably is a way, but I have never been able to restore
MSMoney using the .mbf file. I have just copied the *.mny file
to * * *My Documents/myname/mymoney.mny, then installed money and
every
thing came out allright.

Another possibility.

Ooops. I hate it when I do that.

Try http://umpmfaq.info/faqdb.php?q=152. But it's probably not useful.

That link points to an article about there not being a print preview in
Money. But after checking out their FAQ I still found nothing useful. I
tried the supersalvage but it doesn't work on backup files, only original
databases which I don't have now.

That link points to an article about there not being a print preview in
Money. But after checking out their FAQ I still found nothing useful. I
tried the supersalvage but it doesn't work on backup files, only original
databases which I don't have now.

I have Money 2002 and made a backup on a computer that was dying. I have a
new computer and tried to restore but it says that I need a password. I
never entered a password when I choose to back it up. Any ideas?
