Upgrade from Money 99 to 03

I can't get my backup file into Money 2003 from Money
1999. I transfered all the data to a JumpDrive. It has
the ext. bak. I've put it on my C drive and tried to
open it from there. I've been on the phone with Compaq
for 3 hours and MSFT for 1. No one has been able to help
me yet. I've upgraded before it shouldn't be this hard.
Thanks

Copy the .MNY file directly to the JumpDrive and then copy it from the
JumpDrive to the new system. Don't even mess with Money backups (.mbf) or
whatever else you were messing with that generated .bak.

In the future, please describe not just what you can't do, but why it didn't
work. (I.e., include things like error messages and so forth.)

I found the file with the mny extension. It walked me
though the data transfer, said it would upgrade, keep the
old version, said it was converting, but nothing is in
Money 2003. Thanks
