the Remote Desktop function in Windows XP Pro for this. I connect to
the desktop PC from the laptop through Remote Desktop and run Money
(or other apps) from the desktop. This actually works pretty well on a
wireless (802.11b) connection.

I agree. But it's human nature to take the easiest route. If everyone
searched the web for the answer, I'm sure this place would be empty and
there would be no need for it.

If you read the original reply from a new user's point of view, it would
seem to be unrelated to the question. Your answer was a MUCH more helpful
and a friendly response, and probably didn't take more than 1 minute of your
time. That's the kind of answer an "MVP" should be giving, imho.

I don't think Cal has a quota, but if he does he's surely met it. I do think
that many questions get posted here by people who are either too lazy or
insufficiently aware to spend five or ten minutes searching already
available resources to find hundreds of previous discussions of the exact
same Q/A.

You got the "I have no idea, but I have to make my quota of answers" answer.

I too am interested in this answer. I have been looking for an answer
to this for almost a year now. If the MVP would like to be so
helpful, perhaps they could share a link to prove both of us wrong on
this. I personally don't know of any help on this subject.

Thanks Dick. Originally I was posting because I wanted to know if there was
an alternate way of letting two computers control one MONEY file. It seems
like there should be some type of options within money to allow multiple
computers to update a person's MONEY file. I am NOT looking for any
advanced access that allows two computers to simultaneously update the
file...

I know the obvious way would be to have the file networked and simply have
whatever computer access that file... but this results in very slow
performance (especially in a wireless environment). It would be great to be
able have a file on you local machine, and then synchronize the file after
you have done all your money work... the way it is now, there is a big lag
between any transaction [or any action] I perform.

I'll just deal with it.

Thanks,
Leo

I guess I'm not sure what help you are looking for and haven't been since
your first posting. Money is no different than most other applications
(e.g., Excel or Word or Access) when it comes to using data files in a
networked environment. If you can help it find the file you want it to use,
it will happily use it.

Wait, it is different than Word or Excel in one regard: it does NOTHING to
keep simultaneous access to the same data file from two or more machines on
the network from mangling the data file beyond repair.

Thanks. Honestly, I searched the local download on my newsgroup reader and
came up with nothing. I totally forgot about google... kudos.

However, at least a link or some information would have been better than
ONLY CTRL+Ving your canned response.

I am searching google now and seen the question asked a lot and there seems
to be no simple answer. I am gonna keep the file on a networked drive and
just deal with the slowness.

This feature should be submitted to the MS money team.

Thanks,
Leo

A really neat way to find prior postings in this group is to use the
Google Usenet Groups archive.

http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search enter words that you
think would be in relevant posts into the "all of the words" box.
Enter microsoft.public.money into the newsgroup box. Consider
selecting Sort By Date.

I want the ability to use one Money File with two (or more) computers.
These computers are on the same network (no internet travel will be
necessary).

Is there something built into money to handle something like this? Or will
I have to put the money file on a network drive (or similar) to be able to
access it with both computers.

I have a desktop and laptop in different parts of my home and sometimes I do
my work on each different computer. So, if a 'Money' transaction comes up
that I want to enter, I would like the ability to do it on either
computer...

Any suggestions, tips, etc?

Thanks,
Leo
