I have just purchased Money 2006 deluxe and want to back-up my 2005 file onto
this program. The program keeps telling me that the back-up file is not
compatible. Is there anyway I can transfer all or part of this data to 2006?
Help please. I uninstalled 2005 and no longer having a working disc.

Do you have the *.mny file or the *.mbf file. Each should work.

If that error message is "incompatible version", you will need Money
2005 from the original country to open your file.

Money is heavily localized for each region where Money is sold. So the US
version cannot read an UK file. Your error message implies the above.

I do not respond to any emails that I have not specifically asked for.
