Help with new computer Please?

[lauraljp]

We just got a new computer!! YEAH!!

I am trying to figure out how to get all my information from my Money 2003 to the new computer (also Money 2003). I have tried several things and am not getting a real simple explanation. There is isn't there?

Anyone know how to go about this?

Thanks for any help you can give.

Welcome to the DIS!

Don't you have a BIL that works with computers?

 

[lauraljp]

Yes, but I'd rather not bother him if it is easy to figure out. He is very busy.

<font color=navy>I don't have that particular program, but the first thing I do is go under file and see if they have an 'export' option.

The next thing is to go to your Help for that program, and type in "export file" or "transfer Information" -- something like that.

Good luck.

Is the new machine windows XP? If it is they have a migration wizard that is really darn good.

Thanks for advice. I know I did try something with the export option. Can't remember why it didn't work. I do have XP and tried to do the migration wizard, but it looked like it would moving all my files. I only want the Money ones and I could not figure out how to just get those.

I am going to keep trying though.

Thanks again!!

Oh that's easy... do a backup in money, save it to a floppy, then install money on the new computer and do a restore

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This appears to have worked. I knew I could count on some great tech DISer to help me.

I appreciate you taking the time to reply!
