[moneydance] Multiple data files

[Gordon Alley]

The MD File->Reopen command (or something like that) will show the last
several files you've opened in MD, so once you've opened one or more files,
they are all listed there.

I handle my elderly mother's finances, so I have two data files. That menu
command lets me select whichever data file I need. I also have shortcuts on
my desktop to open the two files.
