Two problems: Can you each work on the same file, and can he even
open Money and work on a different file.

To run Money 2002, each user would have to be an XP administrator,
and Money would need to be installed as each user. Once your husband
can open a new file, then you can address how to let you both work
on a common data file.

I'm not yet convinced this is a Money problem. Can your husband copy the
file to differently named copy in that same folder? Can he open the Money
Sample file? Can he create a new Money file in the same folder? If he does,
can you open that file from your account?

What happens if the file is in the Shared Documents folder, not the All
Users folder?

I had Money 2002 as part of the purchase package on my computer. I didn't use
it, so uninstalled to save disk space. Reinstalled when wanted to begin
using. I have no trouble when logged on as myself, but can't get it to allow
my husband to use it when he is logged onto Windows XP:

"Money cannot locate 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Financial\My
Money" or cannot open it, possibly because it is a read-only file or you do
not have permission to change it or your disk drive is write protected.

If you have chosen the correct file and it cannot be accessed, you will need
to click OK and open your most recent backup file.

If the file is being used by another application, close it in the other
application and click OK to try again."

The file location is correct. How can I properly add my husband as a user?
