I have a 3G, am a knowledgeable MD user and computer technician. Additionally, I have a robust home network and am hoping the iPhone app will access my XXX.MD file from my home server..?

please sign me up for the beta testing!

If you enable encryption on your moneydance data file you will see the option to store Online passwords.

Robert Buckmaster replied on February 07, 2009 01:23 to the question "When exporting from MD what do I put in the "to file:" box?" in The Infinite Kind:

Everything should be in the .MD file. It is, I am positive.

Moneydance is awesome. I normally loathe Java applications, but Moneydance is snappy and great. Works wonders for us! Bye bye Quicken you vultures!

Robert Buckmaster replied on February 07, 2009 01:21 to the question "Beginning (or ending) balance from last reconcile is incorrect. What do I do?" in The Infinite Kind:

Most banks show you all your transactions online so that you can go through item by item. Also, often you can quickly find a missing or erroneous item by searching for the amount of the difference both within Moneydance and at your banks Online web listing of transactions.

Good luck.

Saving me time and making my .MD safer!

I love being able to store my Online account password in my Moneydance file when Encryption is enabled! Yay! Until I found this little nugget of a tip I was quite daunted by the thought of typing my bank password everyday to suck down transactions. Thanks Moneydance!

Robert Buckmaster replied on February 07, 2009 01:17 to the question "Sharing files on two computers" in The Infinite Kind:

I have my moneydance database file on my Windows Home Server. My wife and I both access it without any problem at all. I would suggest pointing your daily backups on the C: drive of each system, on the Backup tab of the Moneydance preferences on both systems. I also would recommend turning off Autosave when running this way as its saving across the network and can give you some pausing, depending on your network configuration. Also, I'd not leave Moneydance open for long periods of time, this would encourage you bumping into a file-in-use problem as indicated by Sean.

Best part of this configuration is that Moneydance allows you to do this with ONE license. Moneydance rox!

Robert Buckmaster replied on February 07, 2009 01:12 to the question "does moneydance work with vista" in The Infinite Kind:

yes, all editions and 64-bit as well. It also runs on Windows Server 2008, even 64-bit. It's a java application, it runs on anything!

Robert Buckmaster replied on February 07, 2009 01:11 to the question "Does Moneydance run on Windows Vista Home Premium?" in The Infinite Kind:

Of course it does. Download it and try it yourself. You may need to install Java, but thats no biggie.

Robert Buckmaster replied on February 07, 2009 01:10 to the question "Does moneydance work on Vista 64 bit?" in The Infinite Kind:

Yep, I run it on Vista Business 64-bit. Works flawlessly. When I searched the forums I found a thread or two where people reported Printing problems but I have not experienced that at all. It runs great for me using Moneydance 2008 R3.

Robert Buckmaster replied on February 07, 2009 01:08 to the problem "Vista User Problem!" in The Infinite Kind:

Ya, like Sean said, find the .MD file for moneydance on the users login where Moneydance is working. Then move that file to any shared location on the system drive, I'd suggest c:\program files\moneydance

Then drag a shortcut to that file onto each users desktop and you are golden. When moneydance installs it associates with .MD files.
