Upgrading |
|
|
I am currently using MS Money 99 and recently purchased Money 2006. I want
to upgrade and keep using the same file in the new version of the software.
(This way I still have all my financial data in tact.) When I go to open the
99 file or restore the 99 backup in the 2006 version, I get an error message
that says it cannont locate the file or that is has been corrupted. I know
neither of these are true because I can still use the file in Money 99. I
don't think Money 2006 knows how to recognize the 99 file. How do I use my
Money 99 file in the 2006 version of the software?

Thank you for getting back to me. I did try to do that and it didn't work.
What else can you recommend?

Did you try the intermediate version upgrade? That's been pretty much a last
stab for some people. You might also want to open a support case directly
with Microsoft.

Ok, I wasn't aware that you could get old versions of software on Amazon.
That really helps! Thanks!

I was not able to upgrade to 2006 and still keep my 2002 or 2003 MS$ Program! I had to start from scratch and believe me that has been a real aggravation. Now I have a shiny new program but my real info is on disks that I can't read with 2006. What were they thinking of???

Are you getting an error message, such as "incompatible version"? |

Yes, thats the message, incompatible......but  I finally copped on that my old Money program is UK, Money 2006 I bought in U.S...oh woe!
I live in Europe but make most purchases in Ohio and no way will I be able to blend these two programs.
