Default Re: two versions running side by side

What not have the same Passport? I've ran two Money programs side-by-side
in the past and never noticed anything other than pymt transactions made in
one version were auto downloaded to the other version. Just curious.

Yes. You can have both 2005 and 2006 on your computer at the same
time, installed into different folders. You can have them open, one
at a time. Tell Money 2006 to not uninstall the other version.

The only caveats I can think of are the last-installed is set up
with the file associations, so when you download an OFX or QIF, the
last installed gets fed the file. To feed the file to both, save
the file to disk, and do File-> Import to both. Just clicking a
link sends the file to the last-installed. You could manually
adjust the associations, or could reinstall 2005 to reset the
associations.

Copy your Money 2005 file to another filename such as Mon06.mny.
If there is a Passport on the file, open the copy with Money 2005
and remove the passport before converting. It may not be good to
use the same Passport on both. There may be no problems with that.
I am just not sure. You can add a DIFFERENT Passport to that file
if you like, but I would not have the same Passport on both files.

Default two versions running side by side

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to run both MS Money 2005 and 2006
on the same PC without a conflict? The Money 2006 install suggests
uninstalling the older version, but what if someone prefers to run both
versions until they are sure they want to buy 2006?

Thanks!

Thanks,
Shelley
