| [Other] MS Money file disappears?
The first time this happened, I thought that just MAYBE I may have made a mistake, and accidentally deleted it -- but now, just a few months later, it has happened again.. My Microsoft Money 2007 .MNY data file has been deleted from the system.. Gone, poof.. No sign of it anywhere..
I have a backup of the file, and it seems from a Google search that others have experienced this as well -- Anyone else? Any ideas on whats going on and how to prevent it?

I do a nightly backup of my system, but also have Money keep the prior 10 backups on exit -- so Im not too concerned about losing it -- but its really annoying, not to mention a bit unnerving that a file that could potentially be so imprtant can so easily disappear for no apparent reason. |

are you using vista? are you saving your money file in my documents? is your my documents mapped to a network drive? this happens to me every now and then. i'm just making sure i have plenty of backups, but yes, it's annoying as hell. |

I have it saved in My Documents, yes -- but its not mapped to a network drive. The location of 'My Documents' has been moved from the default location of C:\Users\username\Documents to C:\Documents -- and yes, Vista
It happened again to me last night.. Very annoying.. |

Yep, it's real, it happens, very random, and MS appears to not yet acknowledge it. I have found twice that a file named ****.tmp is there instead of my ****.mny file, and simply renaming the tmp file to my file's name allows me to open it back up as if nothing ever happened. Clearly a program bug, but for now there appears to be a simple work-around. |

Perhaps it's a Vista specific problem?
I've been running Money 2007 on Win XP since day one and had not experienced any such problem with my MNY file.
