You can indeed pass the filename.


There is a software switch you could use: -s
It will cause the database to resync. It is not normal to run that
each time you start, but it could be done.

Also, if you had files that ran on different versions of money, you
could use a shortcut that had the full path to the particular Money
version as well as specifying the filename.

Yea, I just did that, and of course it works. However I did not delete
my original message since I am still curious about what possible parameters
might be used. Some might be interesting.

Why not simply create shortcuts to each of your actual data files.
msmoney.exe is registered to run .mny files, so if you double click a .mny
file (or its shortcut) Money will start with that file.

Default Start with different files

It would appear that Money has the capability to start up with different
files depending on the start up string used. I have two different files
(accounts) a personal account and a club account. I would like to be able
to chose which one will open when I start MS Money 2005.

The start up string appears to be MYPATH\msmoney.exe","","",0

That would tend to indicate I can pass several parameters at the start
up. Does anyone know the syntax?

While I am there how about the other parameters; there seems to be about
4 available?
