Use of the term "stupid", even "(with all due respect)" shows disrespect
for the person to whom you're replying. Why would it surprise you if
someone took offense?
My original question specifically stated that I did not want advice
regarding sharing information on the web. As an MVP on the Microsoft Money
forum, I'm fully aware of the potential risks. I simply want to know if
Quicken supports that, because my brother already uses Quicken and Money no
longer synchronizes web data from a personal computer file as completely as
it used to. As Quicken's web sharing function does not display transaction
details, we'll end up going to the individual bank web sites to get that
information, anyway.
I'll probably use Money to track the data and display it on MSN where my
Mom already has an account. I can add my brother as a sub-account of my
Mom's MSN account, and grant access to the data. My Mom's still going to
get the paper statements. I'm going to update it by download. My goal is to
help her now and to have a system in place for managing her finances when
she no longer can, or chooses not to.
Thanks for your time and apparent good intentions.
