Can my wife and I both work from one Quicken file?

My wife and I both use Quicken to manage our family's finances. Can we both log into and use Quicken on the web to access same file? Is it secure? If not, how do spouses handle co-managing finances via same Quicken file?

Just a few notes:First, both Mobile and Web work similarly, allowing multiple "devices" to enter data and sync back to one common data file on the desktop, either QWin OR QMac (but not both at the same time). Not sure how Quicken reconciles entries / changes made in both places if they touch the same transaction BUT if you define clear separation of which accounts are handled by whom, then at the very least there should be no record contention.Of course, QWeb and QMobile are only companions, so they do not handle all transactions, but do provide enough to work on cash, credit and bank account registers.Of course, you will have to settle on which desktop version to use.That said, you can also consider using remote access to work right in the desktop file (though only one of you at a time). There are plenty of good solutions but one very good one is TeamViewer; solid and free and can be used on computers, tablets and phones. (If you search the forum, you might find a link to an article I have referenced many times that gives an extensive overview of several products; don't have it handy at the moment).Have Questions?
