Very Computer

I have recently tried to move where I do my bills from my home to my office.

I have both tried to save a Money backup file to disc, as well as email it
to myself, however when I try to open the backup file at my office I must
enter a password to access the file.

No where in my home account have I entered a password needed to access any
files, nor do I see an option to do so.

My operating system at home is XP and the one at the office is 98, so I'm
hoping that's not the problem.

Considering the above, does MS Money automatically attach a password needed
to access backup files, and if so; How do I find out what it is?

Thank you for any help!

An older version of Money can give that Password error message when
you try to open a file created by an older version of Money in a
newer version. If you want to pass files back and forth between home
and office, both sides will need to have the same vintage of Money.

I said that backwards.

An older version of Money can give that Password error message when
you try to open a file created by a newer version of Money.

What Help|About version is reported by both installations?

Thank you *so* much.

I didn't realize I was even using two separate versions as both computers
were bought at relatively the same time.  (I refused to let go of my 98
cause I can manipulate it a little easier and in XP I'm lost.)

I reinstalled the older version on this computer and everything is now
working fine.

Thanks again!

You might feel more at home in XP if you click
Start->Settings->TaskbarAndStartMenu->StartMenu->ClassicStartMenu
Then right-click an empty spot on your desktop and for Themes and
Appearance tabs you choose Windows Classic.

I'm glad it-s working.
