My old computer died with Microsoft Money version 14.00.1105 on it. My new computer now has money 2004 version 14.0.120.730 but cannot read my old files. It tells me the old files need updating, promises to copy it and then update it but only copies it - so i don't get the updated file and so cannot use it. Any ideas on how to solve this please?

Do you have the full version of Money or a trial version?

A trial version may not have all the functions available.

Thanks for your response but yes, I have the full version of Money.

Can you import the old file?

Checked out the site thanks and got a 'Recovery for money' program trial. When I tried to recover my old file I got error message: MS Money Template file.

Try this link ... OfficeRecovery.com - Recovery for Money - FAQ

Tried it. Downloaded the templates. Followed instructions. Got the same message:
Error: MS Money template file

I don't use the MS Money program, but I've tried to provide some suggestions to your problem. I've recommended all the help resources I can find that pertain to your symptoms.

I hope another PCHF member or staffer can provide a solution for you.

Good Luck...
