Question: How Do I Update Microsoft Money?

How do I update Microsoft Money? How do I know if I have to?

Answer: If an update is available for Microsoft Money and you are connected to the Internet when you open Microsoft Money, Money will let you know the update is available and it will suggest that you proceed with downloading it.

If you do not connect to the Internet while using Microsoft Money, you will need to check every once in awhile to see if a Microsoft Money update exists. Follow these steps to check for and download an update for Microsoft Money:

  1. Close Microsoft Money, and any other programs you have open.
  2. Restart your computer and connect to the Internet.
  3. Open Microsoft Money.
  4. If an update is available for Microsoft Money, you will see a message that says you should download the latest updates.
  5. Click on Yes to start the update.

Microsoft Money may close during the update, but allow the update to run until it tells you it is finished. When the Microsoft Money update is complete, either Money will reopen or you can open Money yourself.
