I have been trying to buy an Australian copy of MS Money, I purchased a copy
online but they sent the North American version and I have been waiting 3
weeks for the correct version but now they say they cannot supply it.

I have given up buying the Australian version of MS Money as I think I can
only download stock prices from the Australian stock exchange whereas I need
fund prices which are not available to download

I have therefore created another Money file (Aus Money.mny) using my UK
version of MS Money which only has Australian investment and so it reports in
AUS$, it's easy to switch between the UK and Australian files

I will manually update fund prices once a week, there are numerous web sites
I can set up a portfolio to easily get prices.

If anyone uses the Australian version of Money can they verify that fund
prices cannot be updated online?

That is probably not going to work, unfortunately. The problem that
I expect is that each is going to try to be using the same registry
keys.

If they were from different years, then I expect it would work.

Thanks for replies.

The UK version I have is 2005 and the latest version they sell in Australia
is 2005. I have ordered an Australian version and I will see how it goes. I
will obviously install in different directories but I am concerned how it
will make entries in the Registry as they are both Money 2005.

I will post back how it works out.

I do not recommend installing both at a time but it will work just make sure
seperate directories like Chris informed you and make sure when you close
out of one to wait about 5 minutes before opening another

My experience with the US version is that you can do that, if different
(major) version numbers. Take care to install them in separate directories.
Back up your data files before playing with it.

I suggest you do not attempt to open the same file with both versions, even
if not opened concurrently.

I am a British national living in Australia.

I currently use MS Money purchased in the UK to monitor UK bank account and
investment. The base currency is British pound.

I want to install a 2nd copy of MS Money purchased in Australia to monitor
Australian investment in the base currency of Australian dollar. Also the
Australian version will give me access to Australian share and fund prices.

I want reporting to show my investments in base currencies, when I try
entering Australian investments into my UK version of Money when I produce a
report it converts values to British pounds

Is it possible to install 2 copies of MS Money on one computer?
