I haven't tried this, and I would not use it if I "did" have it installed
since I have heard too many bad things about it...

Roxio has a program that allows writing directly to a CD like it
is a floppy.  It is called DirectCD.

I was lucky years ago in that it would not install unless I updated it,
but to update it I had to install it first.  Much later, during some aggressive
testing, I learned there were all sorts of ways to loose access to the
entire CD and all the info on it -- at the drop of a hat!.

As other people have said here and on other lists, back up on at least
a couple different types of media, and keep one off-site.

                  Good luck.                    Rick Glazier

>Hi People, can some one tell me if their is a work around that will enable me to backup my MS Money 2002 files. In the options

the "A" to "D".  Help! Machine is a Dell 4500 PIIII 2.0G,  256mg,  NEC DVD+RW \CD-RW Drive w\Windows XP Home. TIA
