    Hi, please can anyone advise me?

    I have been using Money since 2000 and still use Money 2003. I never go online via Money to pay bills or reconcile etc. as I still do that manually. Is the Sunset version compatable in the UK? I can only find the US version. Also is it fairly straightforward to import into Sunset from Money 2003? I really dont want to take a chance as I have my accounts stored from way back. I did look at Office accounting but couldn't import from Money. My 2003 version's interface is a bit tired now but it works for me so thats why I would like to update/upgrade it. My O.S. is Vista. Many thanks.

    The Sunset version is only for US users. It cannot import UK version files.

    Your UK Money 2003 will work with Windows 7, just as it does with Vista.

    The latest UK version was Money 2005. If you have that, or any older UK version, which does what you need stay with it.

    Be warned that M2005 as it came had a major bug and a download is necessary if you have to do a reinstall. If you don't do this then the M2005 off the shelf cannot read your .mny file.

    Have a look at http://money.mvps.org/faq/article/630.aspx which suggests a way to preserve the patched M2005 for when the Money servers go away.
