Is it possible to run more than one instance of the MoneyDB under the same user area?
I am running MyMoney 2.0.30 on a MBP running Leopard, with only one user on the system.
When I started it created a database under /Users/myuser. I would like to create a second instace, to control an organization's money. But when I try to create a new DB, the software responds that is unable to create the /User/MoneyDB (it is not running with super user permissions).
And I am not being able to create under my userspace.
Is there a way to do that?

Thanks,
Fernando

You can have as many databases as you need, there are no limits of any kind

We would suggest to keep these databases separated, i.e. to create them in:

/Users/myuser/database1
/Users/myuser/database2
etc

The super user permissions are normally not needed if you create these databases in the area where your users have write access permissions,
for example your home directory.

To create in your user space please navigate in the "New" dialog to your home area, once there please type in new name and select "create new"
this will create both the folder and the database. Alternatively, you may create new folder in Finder and simply navigate there in My Money New dialog
to create the database in that location.
