"Operation cannot be performed" error

[John K.]

Hello,

I have recently started getting an "Operation cannot be
performed" error when doing various Money activities in
Money 2004 Small Business. When I click on More Info,
this is the message I get:

"Details
Product: Money
ID: 34
Source: mnyob99
Version: 12.0
Symbolic Name: errUnknown
Message: This operation cannot be performed.

Explanation
Usually caused by a corupt file.

User Action
Run the Money File Repair tool to fix the problem."

I've run the Repair Tool, and even re-installed Money
(did not uninstall it, just re-installed).

Has anyone lese encountered this error? Is there some way
to fix it?

Thanks!

If you can open Money successfully, you can invoke the Money File
Repair by File->RepairMoneyFile->StandardFileRepair as a more
convenient way of running salv.exe.

As part of your Money installation, there is a file called
sample.mny. If you can open that and work successfully, that would
tend to indicate a problem with your Money file rather than the
installation.

I have run the Standard File Repair, but it tells me that
there are no broken files.

I tried opening all these files, and encountered no
errors. So does that mean that there's something wrong
with my current Money file? If so, how do I fix that?

I have a backup file saved on another local drive.

Thanks for your help!

I have been receiving this error as well. It just
started appearing about 1 week ago. Running the repair
and salv utilities did not seem to help. I only seem to
get this error when closing MSM.

It is probably due to corruption. I suggest you open a case with microsoft
as they do not believe that they have a corruption problem with this
product.

I have encountered a similar error in Money 2003 Standard.
I have not been able to find a resolution as of yet and I
get the message when I close Money after making changes.
If I do not make a change then all is good.
Here is the error from App Log:

What happens when you open/edit/close the sample data file Sample.MNY
located in the Program Files\Microsoft Money folder???
