Microsoft disabled that feature of MSN some time ago. You're stuck with
copying files.

Hi SteveB,

I would like to do this online, that's why I mentioned msn money.
I somehow can't get the money portfolio on money central.

Using the pendrive is not neat, one has to be very cautious to make a copy
after each and every entry and remember and paste the cop on the other
computer before adding anything on it. thats why I would prefer the online
solution, so I am using the same file at both places.

I read in the Money 2007 user guide that it is posible, and have followed
the steps but can't get the portfolio online. Below is the text from the user
guide.

Chapter 11: Anytime, Anywhere Access to Your Money 2007 Data
The more you want to see your account transactions away from home, the more
you'll want to use Money 2007 to access them. Whether you're away on business
or on vacation, you can securely access all your current account information
anytime, anywhere.

Accessing your Money 2007 data on the Internet

Many of the online resources of Microsoft Money 2007 use MSN Money My
Accounts on the Microsoft Money Web site

You can do this, but you'll have to be extremely rigorous about moving
your file back and forth.

Money assumes one user/one PC. The database has no features for
multiple access or synchronizing multiple copies.

You can copy your file back and forth, always being sure to copy the
new version on top of the old version. If you get it wrong, at best you
will lose your recent entries. At worst, you will corrupt your
database. You will also have to wait for Money to finish its update
every time you exit.

I would put the database on a USB stick. Also make lots of backups.
