I don't use Microsoft Money and know nothing about it, but just
as a guess, perhaps in the past it didn't overwrite anything, but
added a new backup file. Now your floppy is full, and it can no
longer add a file.

Are you sure it was overwriting? My suggestion is that instead of
overwriting, you were perhaps adding a new file. After the dozen
times you filled up the diskette and now can't add any more.

Look at the diskette and see what files are there.

What do you mean by with override to my floppy?

Do you only have problems in Money? If so try a money help group.

This question would be better answered if posted to the money NG.
If my memory serves me correctly, this is a problem that came up
with money 2005/
