Thanks, Bob. Not being computer savvy enough to change the properties, I'll
use the thumb drive.

Beware that when you copy the .mny file FROM the CD it will be read only so
you will need to change the properties. Using a thumb drive doesn't have
this problem.

I do not respond to any emails that I have not specifically asked for.

Thank you again. I shall do what you suggest and just move the data file back
and forth, for the few times I'm away from my desktop, on a USB thumb drive
or writable CD/DVD drive. I already do back up my MNY program on a CD/DVD
disc so I'll just bring the disk with me next time.

M07 won't make it any easier to share data between desktop and laptop
installations of Money.

Indeed, the Sync with the Web sync feature is not in M07.

(The Sync with the Web feature puts a subset of your data on the web where
you can access it from any computer that can get to the web after logging in
with your Windows Live ID/Passport. Say you are traveling with your laptop:
you can enter transactions on the web interface and then they will sync back
with your locally stored data file, say on your desktop, when you next login
with Money.)

There is no other improvement in handling what you are trying to do in M07.

What works well for some people is to store their Money file on a USB thumb
drive. But it will be slower if you always use it from there.

Basically the only decent solution is to move your data file back and forth.

Thank you so much for replying to my question. Not being computer literate,
it might be better if I just spend the money and buy a new msft Money program
and install it on both my desktop and laptop. That way I will have the disk
handy should I need it again. If I do this, will it solve the problem of
working back and forth from desktop to laptop? I only use my laptop when I'm
out of town.
Again, thanks for your prompt reply and help.

You have two choices:

1) Get M06 on your laptop and then move your data file back and forth from
desktop to laptop. Money is licensed to allow you to use it at different
times from both your laptop and desktop. You would have to download again.
To do this, see http://umpmfaq.info/faqdb.php?q=159 and the MSKB item it
references. Many people find working from two machines a hassle due to the
need to move the file back and forth and/or the need to assure that you
NEVER access the file simultaneously from both machines. (Doing the latter
can corrupt the file--Money doesn't protect against this despit applications
like Word having done so for a decade or more.)

2) Read up in Help on "Sync With the Web" and set this up from the desktop.
This does not happen automatically but must be setp. (I'd cite the steps,
but don't have M06 handy to test them. I think it's somewhere like Tools |
Settings | Access your Money data on the Web.) And don't fall in love with
the feature. M07 dropped it.

Yes, you are correct. I don't have Money downloaded on my laptop because I
didn't receive a copy of the disk from which I downloaded the Money program
to my desktop. my stock portfolio updates on my laptop, just not my bank
checking account. I thought with the info now going out on msft's web that I
would automatically be able to retrieve all the info on my laptop. And it's
the first of the month and I need to pay my bills!!

Now I'm confused.

Is this all correct:

You have a downloaded version of Money 2006 on your desktop computer. You
have a Money data file on your desktop computer and it has account data and
so forth and all is well.

You don't have any Money version loaded on your laptop computer.

What, again, were you hoping to be able to see/do from the laptop computer?
Accessing some of your Money data via the Web?

I don't have Money loaded on my laptop. Ibought and downloaded the Money
program from MSFT through MSFT's website to my desktop and they didn't send
me a disk. Sorry, it's not a 2007 version,it's a 2006 version of Money
DeLuxe. That was a typo. It shows the stock porfolio's recent updates, just
not the bank info.Thanks for your response

What .MNY data file is the laptop version opening? The .MNY data file off
the desktop?

Money operates on data files kinda like Word or Excel or Photoshop.

If you buy Money Deluxe, you are allowed put it on one computer, and

This is probably a dumb question...but before I install Microsoft Money 2007
Deluxe- I just wanted to know if I can install it on more than one computer,
or if I have to buy another one??
