| Thank you for the information. I will continue doing it as I did previously with backing it up and then restoring it on the other computer. Thanks again.

| Yes and no. Further, it depends. Money will use data files over network shares. But you have to be VERY careful as Money is not at all graceful about doing so with both systems accessing the file at the same time. See http://umpmfaq.info/faqdb.php?q=111. There are performance limitations since Money makes very many very small disk accesses and these don't work well over the network--particularly WiFi. I have found that Remote Desktop Connection works better, but not everybody has the WinXP Pro it takes to do it. (RDC enables me to just log into the other system and run Money on it from remotely.) Money also supports something they call "File Sharing" that they try to make sound like it shares your data file with other machines. This is absolutely ***not*** what it does. It puts a subset of your data on and MSN web server, lets a list of Passport users see it on an MSN web site, and provides a mechanism to sync their changes back into the local data file. See also the recent thread "MSMoney 2006 file on network".
