Troubles Opening LRD Files

Microsoft Money Isn't There

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open LRD Files" when trying to open your LRD. Customarily, this means that Microsoft Money is not installed on %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your LRD with Microsoft Money, so double-clicking the file won't work.

Tip: If you know of another program that can open your LRD file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.

Obsolete Version of Microsoft Money

Sometimes your installed version of Microsoft Money won't support your Microsoft Money Lock Data file. If you do not have the proper version Microsoft Money (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. Your Microsoft Money Lock Data file was probably created by a newer release of Microsoft Money than what's currently installed your computer.

Tip: Investigate your LRD file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.
