You can also use the MRU (most recently used) file list at the
bottom of the File menu to go back and forth.

I would suggest not having the same Passport on both files. I
suspect that would cause some interaction. To create a file with no
Passport, you can select Decline during the file creation.

Correct. Create new separate files called something like 'Partnership' and
'Synagogue'.

It updates only the accounts in the file currently open.

Default Problems with personal and business accounts in one money file? Or use multiple money files.

I've been used Money for years for my credit card, checking, some
brokerage (the ones that work), etc. cards. Just one account, and when
I open Money, that account opens.

I am now about to become the treasurer for a business (a simple
partnership) and a nonprofit (synagogue). I would like to keep those
books in Money, but I don't think I want the business accounts in the
same file as my personal accounts. I really don't see a need (I
think) for a business version of Money (is there such a thing?).
Neither business will have any inventory, just cash in and cash out
for bills and such.

Since there is a file menu on Money, I presume there can be more than
one Money file, and opening the program would then prompt for which
file to open. Correct or incorrect?

If with one file open, I do online updates, would it just do the
accounts in that one file, or all accounts in both files. It would
seem it ought to be the former, but just want to be sure.

Any other problems I have not considered?

Thanks for any help.
