If I can expand my original post with the following observations:
When I open my new (blank) Money file, a file with extension .lrd is created
in the same folder and remains there whilst I am working on the file, as soon
as I close the Money file, the .lrd file disappears from the folder.
When I open my old data Money file (from a different file location) the
following occurs - 1) if the .lrd file is present in the folder already the
old data file will open for the briefest of moments and then shut down - 2)
if the .lrd file is not present in the folder, the old data file will open
and the program will freeze.
It appears as you have said Bob that the.lrd file is some sort of indicator
that Money is open or not, however it does not seem to be happy if the .lrd
file is there or not!!
I have re-installed Money and because the new data file works OK I am
concluding that the Program itself is OK, the only thing I can think of is
that there is some sort of error in the old data file??
Is there a way that I can somehow extract/import all of the data/records
from the old data file into a new file and save all of my years of work??
