Home Networking with Money

I have a wireless network and Money 03 on one computer and
can certainly load it on the other. Can I use Money (the
same file) on both computers? How?

Sure. Share it from the "server" machine and open it from the "client"
machine like any other shared file. Money will not be as fast (by a bunch)
accessing the file over the network.

But beware: Money is NOT designed to support simultaneous access from two
systems to one data file. This includes "sneak" accesses like Money Express
and Money Side. Trying to do so is likely to corrupt the data file. Been
there, done that.

I'm doing the same thing. Shouldn't be a problem as long
as you don't want to have two people working with the
same Money data at the same time. If you are running
Windows XP, just set up the folder where your Money data
is stored as a "shared" folder. Just follow XP help
instructions for sharing a folder. If you're not using
XP, I'm not sure how to achieve this, but it should be
possible.

Hi Mary

I found it's much faster to use a compact flash card (like the one in my
digital camera) & just plug it into the computer i'm using (mine, wife's or
laptop). use this for main file & back-up to hard drive on computer when
closing. that way if it crashes on the cf card i can go to the last cptr
used & recover the backup.
