I have my MoneyDance program already installed on accentually a backup computer in the event my primary workstation, has issues..
We would register her MoneyDance completely separate from me. This would also include her own DropBox account.
Can this be done?
What issues could I encounter?
What if any precautions should/must I take?
Thanks in advance.

    Hi Roy,

    If I understand you correctly, you'd like to have 2 users on one pc using the Moneydance program. I think that one way you could accomplish that is to create another dataset. Menu option File > New > Create New File. You can create as many new datasets as you'd like and each dataset would have its own accounts. The only thing that you'd have to do is use the Menu option File > Open, for each of you to utilize your own accounts.. You wouldn't need to install Moneydance again.

    I don't foresee any issues, or the need for any "precautions." Each file (dataset) can have its own password protection and backup locations.

    Regards,
