I have just updated my PC with one that is Windows 11 compatible, and unfortunately my older version of MS Money 98 will not work. So I have installed Microsoft Sunset program, and wanted to open my MS Money 98 file, but it says that if I'm trying to open file from Money 98 or 99 I should send the report and ask for help.

As I understand it, Microsoft are no longer supporting these products, but surely there must be a way to import the MS Money 98 file into MS Money Sunset.

So I am asking for your help and support :) hoping to receive,

Thank you very much in advance
