Moneydance setup in Windows10
Hi, I've had a couple of email conversations with you guys already (Ben and Sean), but still no resolution to issue raised which is how to install Moneydance to allow 2 users (on one PC) to access the same data file in Windows 10.
So far we have not been able to progress to using the software so would really appreciate your help with this.
If there is no way to do this, please also let me know as we will reluctantly uninstall and reinstall under one user account.
Thanks

Hi Lynn,
Due to the way that Moneydance works with its data, sharing a data set between two user accounts on the same computer will cause permissions issues that will cause it to not work in both accounts. The best workaround for this is to store your data set on your Dropbox folder, even though you're only accessing it on one computer, because your Dropbox folder will ignore file system permissions and bypass this problem that way.

Hi Scott,
Appreciate the advice, although it's taken
a week to get this response.
In the meantime we gave up trying, uninstalled
and resigned ourselves to reinstalling just
under one user.
I understand your solution but am sceptical
that we could now move the data file that we
have started to build as this caused us problems
previously.
Whilst Moneydance appears to have great
functionality, I thing this is a significant flaw.
We have a joint account and wanted to be able
to manage it jointly too.
Thanks anyway
Regards
Lynn
