Money cannot locate ‘filename‘ or cannot open it, possibly
because it is a read-only file or you do not have permission to
change it or your disk drive is write protected.
If you have chosen the correct file and it cannot be accessed,
you will need to click OK and open your most recent backup file.
If the file is being used by another application, close it in the
other application and click OK to try again.

If you are having difficulty opening a Money file, you need to make sure
that the latest Money updates were successfully downloaded to your computer.
To download the latest updates and verify that the update was successful:
- On the File menu, click New, type the name of a new
file (for example, test), and then click OK.
- When asked to download the Money updates, click Yes.
- Restart Money.
- To confirm that updates were downloaded successfully, on the
File menu, click Help, and then click
About Microsoft Money.
- If the latest updates were downloaded successfully, the version
number at the top of the page will be
Version 14.0.xxx.1105 or later.
Note: If the version number is earlier than
14.0.xxx.1105, the latest updates were not successfully
installed. You need to close, and then restart Money. The file
you created in step 1 will re-open, and the download process will
begin again.
- Once you have verified that the latest updates are installed, on the
File menu, click the name of the Money file that you want to
use.
