Money Plus Deluxe trial lie

I installed the trial version of Money Plus to see if it would fix a
calculation error in Money 2007. I read the website and it states you can
choose not to uninstall the previous version, but you would lose change made
in Money Plus.

I am trying to start Money 2007 per the instructions and choosing to load a
previously saved backup. It is telling me I cannot, and must install Money
Plus.

This is in direct contradiction to the following statements from the trial
wbesite.

"The first time you run Money Plus Deluxe Trial, your existing Money file
will be upgraded and backed up. The backup file can be used with your earlier
version of Money.


To do so:


Launch your older version of Money from the Start Menu.
Click Open on the File menu, and browse to the backup file. "

I will try to re-install, but beware if you try the free trial. You may
have to go to Quicken. I have spent the better part of my free time today
trying to fix the fact the Money 2007 thinks 5.495 X 4.14 = .23. Extremely
frustrating.

And so it can. That file would be named *.m16

You said your investment was a bond, and it was not.

I tried to use the backup mentioned with the same results. Luckily I had a
backup from earlier today on a CF card. I had to delete all backup files on
my hard drive and open it from my CF card backup after reinstalling.
