can't open mny2005 file in MSmoney2008
Kervs
I have been using money since 6.0 (1998). Every year i have been creating
new seperate files. 98,99,2000.2001,2002,2003 etc.
I have since upgraded to MSMONEY 2005 (14.0.120.xxxx) which is the US version.
We had to format the computer because of a crash. Fortunately, we backup the
mny files.
We were able to open ALL the files in MSMONEY 2005 (thus being able to
convert them to the MNY2005 version).
As microsoft is ending production of MSMONEY we decided to move to QUICKEN.
Knowing there is a built-in converter path from MONEY 2008 to QUICKEN10 we
tried to install trail MSmoney 2008 home & office. The install went fine BUT
the MNY2005 files would NOT open in MSMONEY2008 citing "Money can't open this
file because it was created using a different version of Money."
From reading all the messenges, the "upgrade" should not be an issue IF
MSMONEY 2005 was a U.S version. (which it is).
As i see it this is the path....
MSMONEY deluxe 2005 (US) >> MSMONEY trail home & offce 2008 (US) >> Quicken10
Could someone please shade some light on this problem??
Why cant mny2006 in open in MSMONEY2008??!?!?!?!

When you say "mny2006", what do you mean? Are you referring to
Microsoft Money 2006, or one of your data files called mny2006.mny?
It is not really clear what your current situation is. I suspect you
installed the Money Plus trial in order to do the conversion to
Quicken. In the process you may have uninstalled Money 2005, and
later reinstalled Money 2005. Is that your situation?
Or are you saying that the Money Plus Business trial version would
not open one of your *.mny files, and therefore you could not
convert that file to Quicken?

I do apologize about my last sentence. What i meant is ..
"Why cant mny2005 in open in MSMONEY2008??!?!?!?! "
To clarify... i am unable to open my mny2005 files in MONEY2007 or MONEY
2008.( i have tried installing both Money2007/2008) I get the message..
"Money can't open this file because it was created using a different version
of Money."
Whilst installing MONEY 2007 /2008, I didn't uninstall it MONEY 2005.
In summary you hit the nail on the head...
Money Plus Business trial version would not open one of my *.mny files, and
therefore I could not convert that file to Quicken

Ahhh. You are trying to get Money Plus to convert a UK Microsoft
Money 2005 file. I am sorry, but it cannot do that. What you can do
is to prepare an install disk that will let you reinstall Money 2005
onto a replacement computer after the servers stop providing the
updates. See http://money.mvps.org/faq/article/630.aspx for a method
of making a self-contained disk for reinstall of Money 2005 with the
updates in place.
If you reinstall for any reason before the end of January 2011, it
is important to open sample.mny or a new file to let Money first
update to version 14.0.*.1105 before trying to open or restore
existing Money 2005 files. The other thing is that if Money Plus
attempted to convert an existing file of yours, it would have left a
copy as a *.m14 file. You should check for such a file. That file
can be read by your Money 2005 install.
The other alternative, if you really want to switch to some other
choice away from Money 2005 UK, is to export QIF files and to import
them into you new software.
The microsoft.public.uk.money group has other users of Money 2005
UK, and you will find good info there.

I'm using MONEY2005 US version. I know this because looking at the version
number 14.0.120.1105. 120 indicates that it is the USA version.
I would rather not use the QIF version because i have too many file and too
many account in each one to export individual QIF. Any other ideas??

The UK Money 2005 (the latest) are all version 14.0.120.1105. That
is Deluxe. In the USA there were these:
Standard: 14.0.80.1105
Deluxe: 14.0.120.1105
Premium: 14.0.125.1105
Here is a way to tell the US vs UK Money 2005 Deluxe apart:
In Help->About there is a License Terms (US/Canada) or
(UK)Licence terms button. That is easier than looking up the
spelling of cheque vs check in Help items.

Not if you are using the UK version. Check back with the results of
the Licence/License test.

Have a look in Help and see how check or cheque is spelt.

I've upgraded Windows the Money program was able to open. My last version
was Money 2004 in Windows XP. Got a new computer with Windows 2007 and Money
2004 willl not install on it and the compatibility tool will not fix it.
Downloaded 06 Money trial, but it expired and won't let me work in it.
Downloaded 07 trial and it won't open older versions of the file. I'm here
looking for help as well a and not finding any. Thinking of moving to Mac
next time - sick of Microsoft issues and this is another example. Good luck
and Happy New Year

System.
Microsoft Money 2004 will run on Windows 7-32 and on Windows 7-64 provided
it is properly installed - others can do it.
