I'm not familiar with M$ Money but it seems odd that the upgrade would
delete old databases. Are you sure it hasn't simply been removed from
the history list (or pick list)? In that case, a simple File/Open
command would recover it. Another possibility is that the new version
uses a new default file format, in which case there is probably an
import function to move the old data.
