can you password protect parts of money?

I would like to have my office helper enter credit card receipts into my
personal Money software, but don't want her to be able to see other bits of
data like retirement accts, ss#'s, etc...

Is there any way to do this?

You could have the helper create a .qif file somehow, and you would
File->Import the data.

To see what such a file would look like, I suggest you File->Export
the CC account. After the first line, a record is everything thru
the "^" line. Create the new file with no password.

You/someone could make an application to create the QIF with some
program.

Another alternative is to make a new file for the purpose.
File->Import the existing QIF file, and hereafter maintain that CC
account in the smaller new file. Just enter monthly adjustments
manually into your private file.

There are various other permutations that might fit your needs.

I was really lookig for a way to have only certain types of transactions
and/or accounts visible based upon a login name....

My small biz accounting software can do that and it's only 2x the price of
Money... :(

I was responding with what was available, but a one-word answer
might have been more what you were looking for.
