[moneydance] How to run an account in a separate file?

[Larry Alkoff]

Hello Gordon.

I'm running Moneydance on Linux Kubuntu.

My business partner is in another country so we have to exchange the files.

I have a directory with all my MD data and the data file in Work Path is 
moneydance.md.

I tried creating a file called billybob.md in the same Work Path but 
when I call it up (click on it) up comes my personal data.

Guess there is something more.
