Microsoft Money refuses to set up new investment account

[Ernest Stokely]

I am running Microsoft Money 2005. I have a number of accounts set up
already to download info from several financial institutions. I
recently opened a new Roth IRA account with Ameritrade. When I try to
add the login and pin for the new Roth account (I have a regular IRA
account with Ameritrade), I get the following strange message.
Ameritrade tech people are clueless as to what this could be.

"Money could not write to your Money file. The operation cannot be
performed or another application finished the task before you. Please
try again."

When you click "OK" it exits the setup screen and you have to start all
over. Does ANYBODY out there have a clue what is going on here??
Thanks, Microsoft for the helpful error screen and the null file in the
Help documentation that is soooo helpful in debugging what should be a
simple operation!!
