Try this work around which will do a step conversion to
allow Money 2006 to read your data. Microsoft has made the US
Money 2004 Deluxe Trial available for you to work through this
process. Let us know what happens.
1. Uninstall Money 2006.
2. Change your system date to: 12/31/2004
3. Connect to
http://download.microsoft.com/download/D/B/7/DB72D4E0-FBD1-4B76-BFA0-1FF20F6AEC8D/M12USWEB.exe
4. Choose Open to download the M12USWEB.exe file.
5. When prompted, "Do you want to install Microsoft Money" choose
Yes. This will start the installation of Money 2004 Trial.
Once the trial is completely installed:
1. Open Money 2004.
2. Open your Money 99 or earlier data file and choose Yes to
convert the file.
If you still receive an error when trying to convert the data file,
your file may be damaged. For further information on
troubleshooting damaged data files, click on the following
Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

3. When you have successfully converted your data file to Money
2004, Install Money 2006.
4. After installing Money 2006, open the file you just used in
Money 2004 and choose Yes to convert.
