Is it possible to have two PPCs sync to one PC running Microsoft Money 2005?
I'm thinking about buying Money but before I do I wanted to know if it could
support this requirement. I do know that Quicken can support this.

Thanks,
Joe

Hi.
In active Sync you can specify which money file to check.

I guess, if there is 2 PPC, there wil have to partnership, so , you can
specify 2 differents files or the same, depending what is your goal.

Hope it help.

Although you can specify two partnerships, I would be very wary of trying
this.

My main concern is due to data integrity issues. Because synchronization
also deletes old transactions, if one PPC deleted some and then the other
PPC was connected, there is an issue - the Money file thinks that the PPC
doesn't know about them, but finds them.

The PPC has them but according to the Money file, they are not synched. So,
they must be new transactions entered a long time after the date of the
transaction, so transactions would be created again (duplicated), which
would then cause them to be synched into the other PPC on reconnect.

It's going to be very messy.
