I tried the other suggestion and it still crashed initially upon launching Microsoft Money.
Any other suggestions?
I would like to think that you are saying that when you double-clicked Sample.mny, it launched Money, but Money crashed immediately. That would be very good, because it means that your Money installation is the problem, and that you just need to
reinstall Money.
I fear that you meant that it opened Sample.mny fine, you made the setting change, but you were not later able to open your real file successfully. If that is the case, search your entire computer for *.mbf files. I like Agent Ransack as a search program,
because it is less sophisticated, but more subordinate, than the Windows search. ;-)
That backup file "from a few months ago " is sounding awfully good. Make an extra copy of that; I think it is critical to your getting going. The sooner you use that to restore your file, the easier it is going to be. Various financial institution's data
goes back a limitied amount of time. So the sooner you get going, the more you will be able to download, minimizing hand entry or the need for compensating transactions to make up for a period of missing information.
