You are right, the date on the Money box says 2004, but I realised later that
it is the 2005 version - thank you Microsoft for such clear labeling!
And about my older version, recently having read so much in forums about
Money, I am beginning to doubt that it was a Canadian version. It did not
have online function for canadian banks (only US banks which I did not use).
And it came preinstalled with Microsoft Works. So I'm guessing it was Money
2003 US version.
But as I said my notebook has crashed so I only have the backup version
saved on an external drive.
What course of action do you suggest? It has 4 years of my financial records
which I don't want to give up on easily. The import/ export thru QIF does
not help me as I am now just hanging on to the 2003 back up files without the
programme installed on my new computer.
Thanks for your help,
Saman.
