One of the features I was interesting in with Money 2005
was the ability to share the file with another .NET
Passport. I can't make this work. First Microsoft
Technical support confirmed that having Windows XP SP2
installed causes a problem - I would just get the
rotating arrow and no box to enter the 2nd .NET
Passport. I then installed Money on 2 different machines
with Windows XP SP1, and tried again, even starting with
a brand new Money file and new .NET Passports. I was
able to go further, but after inputing the 2nd .NET
Passport, then being asked to sign in, I got that same
stupid rotating arrow that never went away, no timeout,
no cancel button. I have given up and have gone back to
Money 2004 because there is not enough in Money 2005
considering what I give up. I would think Microsoft
would be embarrased to release a new product that has an
issue with SP2, AFTER SP2 was released.

Has anyone been sucessful to use this new feature in
Money 2005?

I just get the arrow on sp2. I don't have any sp1 boxes to work on. Please
let us know what you find out.
