For some reason I thought windows 2000... hmm are you using limited accounts
of administrative accounts.

Does a write of say a text file across the network work? Yes you should be
able to use money across a network

I am using Windows XP and as far as I can tell, I have given write access to
the file and the whole string of directories affected. The only way I know
of permitting write access is to ensure the "read only" box is not checked.
Is there something else I should be checking as well? I take it from your
response that it should be possible to access a ,mny file on a separate
computer through a network. Thanks for the help.

Do you have write access to that network directory? Money will create a lock
file in the same directory, so requires write access to the directory as
well as the file itself.

Try creating a file remotely on the drive and look to see the owner that is
defined on the file. This will ensure you have the correct permissions.

Check also the permissions of the share. On some systems (not sure about
2000), the default share permission is for everyone to have read access.

I have three computers on a network with a money 2000 file and application
on one computer that I would like to access from another. I can find the
file through the network, but if I try to open it, I simply get an error
message stating the file is not accessible. I have the folder and drive the
file is stored in, shared, but for some reason it will not access it . Any
ideas as to what is wrong? Thanks
