The information in this article applies to:

 Microsoft Money 99 Microsoft Money 98 == Microsoft Money version 5.0 for Windows 95 == 

= SUMMARY =

It is recommended that a backup copy of the Money file be saved each time you quit Microsoft Money.

To make this easier, Money has added a backup option called Back Up Without Reminding Me. This option automatically creates a backup file without asking when quitting Money and you will not be prompted to overwrite the existing backup file.

If the location of the backup file is invalid or if the disk is not in the drive, you will be asked if you want to make a backup copy, and if Money should overwrite an existing backup copy.

Setting the Backup Options for Money 98 and Money 5.0

 * 1) On the Tools menu, click Options.
 * 2) On the General tab, in the Backup list, click “Back up without reminding me.”

If the file has never been backed up, there will be a prompt to back up the file even with the option turned on. This allows the option to specify the name and location of the backup file or to accept the default backup file name.

There will also be a prompt to backup the file if the path or file name is invalid or the disk is not in the drive.
