HELP!! UNABLE TO RESTORE MS MONEY BACKUP FILES!

S

Sunil A.

Hello everyone,

Here is the situation, one of my clients is using MS MONEY
2001 to keep track of his financial dealings. He was
having problems with his dell computer last week so he
used the RESTORE CD to format and re-install all the
original applications. BEFORE he did this though, he
BACKED UP his MS MONEY 2001 files onto 3 floppy disks
because it was such a large backup. Therefore he has the
following 3 files on floppy disks:

1. my money d1.mbf
2. my money d2.mbf
3. my money d3.mbf

I re-installed MS MONEY 2001 on the newly formatted
computer and then tried to restore his ".mbf" files back
into MS MONEY, but everytime i try, it takes the first
floppy disk with the file "my money d1.mbf" but it will
never continue to prompt for the remaining 2 floppys disks
which are alot larger files. Therefore the full
restoration never works correctly.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to properly
restore these files?? PLEASE I NEED HELP WITH THIS!??

Regards,

Sunil A.
