Problems backing up Microsoft Money 99

[GSDog]

My dad recently bought a new laptop which is using Windows Vista and he needs to transfer all his old Microsoft Money 99 files from his old laptop (running Windows ME) to his new Vista laptop.

I've tried using the built-in backup facility in Microsoft Money 99 but it seems to fail everytime I try to backup the files to a CD, USB stick or floppy drive. It can backup to the C drive OK though.

Is there any other way of transfering these files without using the built-in backup facility?
Where are all these files located?

It's annoying because he's having to use his old laptop just to access his Money 99 accounts.

Any help would be appreciated.

Don't use, and never have used Money, but from what you're saying, you can back up to the hard drive. Can't you just copy the backup file(s) from the hard drive to the media you're using, such as that USB stick?

Why didn't I think of doing that?
I managed to save the backup to the HDD then move the file to the USB stick and it's working OK now.

Thanks.
