Maybe, but lots of other posters might be able to as well.

You might want to start your own thread on that subject. I didn't notice any
missing views when I was running M06 vs. M04 simultaneously for a year. I
didn't try to rigorously validate this, though.

Who knows?

I can't imagine this scenario, but I suppose anything is possible.

Things are typically stored in the registry precisely so the program doesn't
have to have internal knowledge of them. You could change it and see what
happens. If it all goes TU, you can change it back.

Can one of the MVPs help me out?
Background - I run M2004 Deluxe and M2006 Deluxe on my PC because I can
see portfolio views on M04 that I can't see on M06. (if you want to
discuss that - please reply in a new thread so this doesn't get
polluted.)

If I run M2006 and THEN shutdown right away - or then try to open M04,
I get the message " Microsoft Money is running...". I 've seen it here
that it's a known bug- fine. Well today I thought I'd go in and look at
the registry to see why and I saw some CACHE references in there -
that's why I'm posting this. Why under M2006 App Path Cache does it use
my M2004 folder and more importantly why does it want to know that ? My
reason for asking : assume M06 crashes - will it restart itself AND open
M2004 and try to "fix it" - thereby polluting both databases ?
If so, can I change JUST the info in "AppPathCache15.0 " to point to my
M06 folder and fix it - or is it referenced in the program itself /
other places too ?

Thanks,
Bobb
