I migrated Money 2007 to a new computer running Vista. Money appears to
work correctly, but it doesn't save new transactions on exit. For some
reason the My Money.mny file reverts back to the file dated 1/27/08 which is
the first date I ran M2007 in Vista. I can restore from the back up file
and it works for the session, but the changes to the working file are lost
on exit.

Any assistance will be appreciated.

File security is tighter in Vista. Make sure the money data file is
contained in Documents or a subdirectory, not a subdirectory of
Program Files, or any other system directory.

Thanks for the response. I found a phantom file named My Money.mny with the
date stamp 1/27/08. I deleted the file and that appears to have solved the
problem.

Located in which directory? Where is your current working file?

I had to change the setting in Widows security alerts. Turning off
user account protection fixed my problem !

That shouldn't be necessary and suggests the file is not in an
intended location.
