Shared File Access

Question

I created an account on my iMac for my wife.  (Her old iMac is 10 years is being decommissioned) I put my Quicken data folder on an external direct attached hard drive.  I can open the file in Quicken.  When she is logged in, she cannot.  I have given her user full read/write access to the drive and folder and file.  Still no joy.  I gave her Admin rights. Again, no luck.  Quicken says she doesn't have Read/Write access.  What am I missing?

Couple other data points. 1) I can be logged into my wife's account on my iMac and use Word to create and save a file on the external drive and folder where my Quicken data file is.  2) If I copy the Quicken data file to her Documents folder, I can open the file in Quicken from there.  Still can't open the file on the drive from Quicken though.  Ugh.
