Hi Dan</p>
<p>The following may not cover your exact case but should allow you to sort things out.</p>
<p>When you sync between computers you first set up one primary computer under FILE (MONEYDANCE on Mac) – SYNCING. You then set up syncing any number of secondary computers using FILE (MONEYDANCE on Mac) – NEW – OPEN SYNCED FILE.<br>
You can change the syncing method on a primary data set or a Moneydance backup restored from a primary data set.</p>
<p>With a secondary data set the syncing method is fixed, greyed out and cannot be change. You get the same result after restoring a secondary computer Moneydance backup. Make sure the auto backups for the primary and secondary computers are not set to use the same location if you are say using Dropbox.</p>
<p>If you have lost your primary computer data set first try to find a backup created from your primary computer and restore from that.</p>
<p>If you only have a secondary data set try the following:</p>
<p>To convert a secondary data set to a primary data set you need to run the attached script md_convert_secondary_to_primary_data_set.py in Moneydance 2019/2020/2021.<br>
With your data set open click WINDOW - SHOW MONEYBOT CONSOLE use OPEN SCRIPT to select the script and click RUN. Wait for the script to complete its run, it can take a minute. Close and reopen Moneydance. You should now be able to change the syncing method.</p>
<p>You will now need to set up syncing again.</p>
<p>Hope this helps</p></div>derekkent23tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/487706682020-10-27T18:24:08Z2020-10-27T18:24:09Z MD 2021 won't let me choose Sync Method<div><p>Thank you so much, this solution opened up the sync settings.</p>
