Hi,, Thank you both for your replies - apologies for delay in responding.
A member of my family has a different financial programme and I needed to transfer some of that data into my MS Money and it was in the form of both a QIF file and a print out
As I am not too proficient in computers I chickened out and I have copied the data manually into MS Money rather than risking any compromise on existing data
However I am interested in taking a copy of my MS Money file and experimenting (as banjomike suggests ) - but.....how do I take a copy of my existing MS Money file ?

There is more than one way. Close Money before making the copy.

I was looking for better descriptions. Back in the old days, there were lots of places that explained how to copy a file. Here is my description. Identify which part you don't understand,
1. Open Windows Explorer. One way to do that is to hold the WindowsKey down and press the 'E' key.
2. Browse to the file you want to copy.
3. Right-click the file, and choose Copy.
4. Right-click a blank place within the folder, and choose Paste.
5. Rename the copy to something appropriate. To do that, right-click the copy, and choose Rename.
To open a particular Money file from Windows Explorer, you can right-click that file and choose Open.
