Money 2005 SB can't open Money 2004 File

Hello all, I just upgrade Money 2004 to 2005, both Small Business
version. I have 2 money files, one created in 2004 the other created
in Money 98 and upgraded every year till 2004. The first one gets
converted to 2005 without any problem. But the 2nd one can't be
converted. Money 2005 said it is either locked or protected or
corrupt. But it has no problem at all in 2004

I've tried to delete all accounts in this file but one to elimilate
causes of problems but still have no luck. Can anybody help? I can
even post this file here if the group accept bin upload. Thanks in
advance

In your Money 2005 install there is a file MNYCoreFiles\salv.exe

Run that and have it read the problem file and see if it can make a
repaired version of the file.

I have also found this problem and have tried repairing
with salv.exe But still failed. Is there any other
sugestion? The error message is something like:
incompatible version with Money 2004.

Is Money 2004 incompatible with Money 2005?
