Re: MS Money File Conversion

Sorry, no idea what I did, if anything.

I did as suggested, deleted the cash transaction and then added the dividend transaction to the investment account - everything is
fine now with no errors at startup and account values balance.

I've categorised the cash transactions and tailored the Income ...

Re: MS Money File Conversion

Tried this and seemed to work - however on next startup I get the message -

Looks like I've disconnected the investment / cash accounts somehow. Asks if I want to try and fix it but just seems
to start up and no message on what to do.

Re: MS Money File Conversion

Hi Campbell,

Yes, that's exactly what I want to do.
Using 'Transfer In' brings back every transfer in every account I've selected.
Can't find any way to categorise the cash transaction - if I try to edit it (double click) there's no category field to update
and if I right click and select edit I ...

Re: MS Money File Conversion

Hi Campbell,

As far as I can see the account totals balance exactly with MS Money.
Up to now the only problem I've come across concerns the Income & Expense Report - there doesn't seem to
be a dropdown list of Categories for selection, just doesn't seem to work.
The report (for tax year 2025/26 ...

Re: MS Money File Conversion

Thanks for that. I've downloaded the new version and successfully converted my MS Money file.
Now all I've got to do is compare new to old for errors.
Watch this space as I've got over 20 years worth of data !

Re: MS Money File Conversion

Hi Campbell,
Would definitely like to try this out.
Currently running version 1.8.0.1 - how can I update the software ?
Can't find any option to upgrade and nothing appears in the app to prompt me that a newer version is available.

Re: MS Money File Conversion

Managed to find a couple of bits of freeware which converts MSMoney.mny files to an MSAccess mdb file and then reverse engineers the table data with a series of queries. This allows the extract of Share Price History, Regular Bills / Deposits, Categories, Payees, transactions, Organisations ...

Re: MS Money File Conversion

Thanks for getting back so promptly.
Yes, the Transfers do screw up balances, as the Transfer To entry seems to get reposted (again) to the Transfer From account.
There are quite a few comments about that scenario.
On the other hand I've managed to get my MSMoney file converted to MS Access but can ...

MS Money File Conversion

Recently purchased this product as my 20+ year old version of MS Money stopped working after Microsoft applied a .NET patch.
Managed to get it working again by upgrading to MS Money 2005 so I'm still using it and hoping this product will evolve into something as good, or better, than MS Money.
