Suggestion

[Money Fan]

I would like to see all versions of Money capable of running efficiently on a
home or small business network with the potential of supporting multiple
users. We run the Small Business edition of Money on our home office network
and we have the data file stored on our home office server with two to three
people managing the information in Money. As of today, only one person can
use a single data file at a time and the overall performance of Money across
our 100Mb network is quite slow (even with a very quick Enterprise SATA disk
RAID on our server). The performance is barely acceptible today. As more
and more home users have networks and people share the responsibilities on
managing their personal finances or running a small business from home or a
small office I think having improved networking features in Money would be a
really attractive feature in a future version. So far, no other personal
financial managers offer this feature as far as I know. Please add this to
the "wish list" of new feature requests. Thanks!

Nice idea but wrong forum. You need to send it to the first wishes address
in my sig.

I doubt this will work well. Money is being marketed as personal product,
even small business edition. The answer to your suggestion (if any) will be
that what you need a business-grade product or service. As you are well
aware, anything that smells "business" has "business" price tag, i.e. 10+
times more just because it's "business". I don't think Microsoft Money will
want to break this nice tradition.
