Default Want to access Money file from 2 different PC's

I also have MS Money on two PCs linked by a fast wireless
(802.11G) network. I can access MSMo on either PC as
long as the MSMo file is not being used on the other PC.

I do not believe,however, that MSMo has been built to be
accessed on a network (I have since sent my 'wish' to
MSFT to make this a priority in the next version). I
have had instances where the file became corrupted which
I have blamed on MSMo choking during a lapse of the
wireless connection. So, if you get it to work, be
cautious and be sure to create a backup of the file each
time before you try to access the file on the network.

Default Want to access Money file from 2 different PC's

Hello. I have two PC's with (licensed) copies of MS Money
on them that are networked. I usually work from the
desktop when I use Money, but occasionally would like to
access it from my laptop. However, when I try to set up
the path to the Money file, it won't allow me to use one
on another PC. I can't even restore it from the backup
(even though I can get to it on the network). The only way
I can do it is to use my floppy backup to restore it then
save it locally on the laptop. Then I have to do the same
thing to get it back onto the desktop.

Obviously, I don't do this very often because it's not
very convenient. Is there a way to do this so I can access
the file from both PC's?

Thank you.

Mindy
