Based on what you have posted, I infer you are running XP on the computer. My laptop will be out of the window in a minute! I do everything you very helpful guys tell me and every time I get the same inane read-only message.
The file is saved in my downloads file right-clicked on it and read-only is unticked , right click on kkk. Click next and exactly same nonsense again about it possibly being read-only, or you do not have permission to change it I am testing this on my Windows 7 machine in which I am the admistrator, have full access as far as I can see and its not read-only.
Which is not the one stated above, does it update to the correct one when the file is suppused to convert or is there a way to force that update in. I genuinely follwed all rules above about right-click run as administrator and loaded in the Sample. Any reason why it never updated to the number shown above? The file was carried by a removable drive, but as I say, it says read-only unticked whenever I look at the file. I am becoming more convinced that something think it's not read-only, but I have no idea why.
Is that why it hasn't updated to -. Ok, this is what I have done to get it working, and just one thing I did that I may have misunderstood earlier. No updates seemed to happen and that About menu said it was an older version, so everytime I opened it I kept doing that right-click option.
However, I decided to just double-click it and open it, and volia 'it said updates will be applied '. Thank you all for your help and patience. The error messages are so stupid and make no sense, but I guess it is prompted by the lack of the update. Quite how it can post an error saying 'read-only' problem every time when it's not that error is the thing that is so irritating.
If only when you get to that stage it said 'You need to get the updates to make this file work' and then some instructions would make everybodies life easier. Anyway, thank you all for your help and apologies if I misunderstood what the gentleman said at the earlier stage, I thought I had to see something on the right-click administrator first before I launched it normally.

I had to restore my Windows 7 laptop and money was only restored to I do a backup every time I exit Money on an external disk and my weekly back also backs up Money.

You need to take care to create your multiple backups manually, which it appears that you have successfully done.
All 3. Each file is not quite the same size. It doesn't matter which one I choose to restore from the info is the same. I'm not sure what size the flash drive is and maybe that's why it's only backed up to ? Would that also be true with my weekly computer back up to an external drive? You would have gotten an error message that the drive was full if that happened.
You would have noticed that. I suggest that you do a search on your hard drive for later Money files. You can use a command window and run these two commands:. I like a search program called Agent Ransack. Yes, unusual name. But it will search the drive faster than the command window method and give easier-to-read results. Both the command window method and Agent Ransack will do a complete search, where the Windows search could miss something.
