Thanks Cal, that seems...alarmingly easy. And I'm not
normally so clueless (though others would disagree)

Cheers,

File-> New will create a new file that can be given a different name.

Within Money, the Most-recently-used list at the bottom of the File
menu can be used to switch between files.

You can create a shortcut to each file to open directly to that
file.

And you alternatively could each be XP users with their own Money
file, other files, and desktop settings.

Default 2 users, 2 separate files/instances?

I'd like to set up 2 separate 'instances' of Money - one
for me, one for my girlfriend, so we can each keep track
of our finances separately. Obviously, just adding
accounts to what i have will meld her finances with mine.
Can Money be set up so that we can each load our own data
sets? Is this possible, and if so, how?

Thanks,

Jake
