 Re: Share Money File on Two Computers Oh sure, you are 100% right about it. My understanding was that he was looking for a way to keep a "main" Money file on the computer, be able to use it on the laptop when away and update the "main" one when back. I was use to have a "running" copy in the partition C:/ and a Backup one in the D:/ and copying the "running" one between the desktop and the laptop but it was quite messy.

| Re: Share Money File on Two Computers Be VERY careful with this to make sure you serialize EVERY use of the file (including MoneySide and MoneyExpress). Money provides no protection for simultaneous access to the database by two machines and can mangle your file.

| Re: Share Money File on Two Computers Are you using XP? if yes why don't keep the Money file on the desktop, share the HD, setting Money on the laptop to use the file on the other computer but also to be available off-line so if you leave with the laptop and use the file when you reconnect all files are synchronized and updated.

| Share Money File on Two Computers I got it to work, I have the main file on my flash drive (actually no speed degregation at all) and have it back up to the drive on my desktop. I just have the flash drive in the computer I want to use and then it works flawlessly. If anybody has suggestions though, please email me. NOSPAMERScy_bear[at]msn.comNOSPAMMERS Thanks for your help.

| Re: Share Money File on Two Computers That would work for some things I suppose but I want to have the file somewhere either on the desktop or on my flash drive and be able to access it with either computer? Will that work just to put the file like on the desktop and have money open it as a previous money file on opening money? Would that then create problems with the computer not being up-to-date with the other computer? Thanks |

| Share Money File on Two Computers I just got a laptop and have money on my desktop and laptop and have a wireless network. My question is can I have my money file work between the two computers. I want to be able to use the file on either computer. I also have a usb flash drive if that would work better. Thanks, Jeremy cy_bear[at]msn.com |
