David:

Have you seen the program? If not, I recommend downloading the demo from:
www.aph.org/tech 

There is really nothing mysterious or limiting about the way Money Talks works 
with files. Its a standard Windows MDI application. An account is just a file 
with a .mtf extension, so files can be saved anywhere you can read/write any 
other file. I would avoid accessing the account from a server though, since 
Money Talks does not support file sharing, and doesn't lock/hold a reference on 
the open account file.

Files are not available to other Windows accounts, unless you put them in a 
place where all users can access them. By default, they are stored in 
%userprofile%\My Documents\Money Talks.

Sond good. Now for clarification, can you store the moneytalks file on any
network location, including a third computer? This would  be great if you
use one computer as a peer server for shared files and other programs that
allow the server client configuration without being a genuine server
solution. 

Also, to APH, are there any plans to make this option more easily set up so
that more than one person can have the file open? With families having more
than one computer in the house, and windows home server being available from
Microsoft, this idea is going to be in a greater demand than it was a few
years ago.

Thanks again for the help,/

David

If you share a drive or directory, both of you can update the file but be 
careful not at the same time and be certain to close when you are done.
