The newest version of Money is designed to open and upgrade older version Money data files, backup files, and backup diskettes for all older versions of Money, with caveats as noted below. 1) Upgrades are not supported across different localizations of Money. E.g., M99 for UK will not upgrade to M04 US. For more information, see “Why do I get the ‘incompatible versions’ message when upgrading my data file?”. 2) Beginning with M03, a significant number of users have had problems with the upgrade process. For more information, see “I thought Money files were supposed to be upward compatible. How come Money[new] crashes when upgrading my Money[old] data file?”. 3) Be sure you have a good backup file/set of backup diskettes. For more information, see “You must help me! My only floppy backup has a data error reading. What do I do?”.
