Default Re: Microsoft Money on the Network

The closest you could get to at the moment is to have the Money product
living on the home machine, but you have a pocket pc on which you record
your expenditure.

When you return home, you could synchronize the PPC file with the Money
file.

Not quite the same, but close (ish)

MS could easily develop it if they thought they could get users to pay
more than about $25 retail. Not likely.

Default Microsoft Money on the Network

Here is what I really want to do: run Money in a two or three node networked
situation. I'm not asking for a cheap finance package for a business, this
is personal! Here's the scenario: my wife spends money and I spend money.
Sometimes its cash, sometimes its check, maybe online pay, whatever. I work
in an office, my wife is at home with the kids. We both need to enter our
spending into Money. If its on the home PC, she can do it, but I have to
wait until I come home, and since I work on a PC, its the last thing I want
to do when I get home. If its on my work laptop, then I can do it, but since
she does the bulk of the transactions, it becomes a hassle. Why not a
product that allows both? Functionally it would look the same as Money, but
the data would be stored centrally. Ideally the software could talk over a
VPN. I'm thnking store the data in MSDE or SQL or something. Then when I
enter a transaction, that transaction is marked as mine, maybe its in a
different color or something. This way, we could both enter our transactions
on our own PCs, without issue.

I could keep going with how this ought to work, maybe I should develop it
myself with all my spare time...
