: : HI,trying to track 4 portfolio's,1 is mine 3 are my moms.Some of my investments(symbols) overlap with heres,but usually transactions are different(price or time).how can i save her investments without over writing my transactions,or is this even a problem.Ive built my portfolio first,so am catching up with hers,and the program prompts me to save investment even tho there is already a file(my investment).Im just afraid it will write over my transactions,is this a problem?---------thnx dave

: DOH! looks like i can just put a new folder in the My Data folder,bestest way to sove problem? tia dave

Hi David,

Yes, this will work fine. You will want to save each of your investments
to different files. You can either do this by putting them in
different folders, or by modifying the filenames. For example, if you
each owned IBM, you could create an IBM1.dat and IBM2.dat investment files.
You do definitely want to keep separate files if they each have their
own transactions.

Thanks,
Mark
