Saving files for two spouses

Question:

I get to the information for spouse 2 (my husband), even though I have entered all the info and the file is in the file list. When I open spouse 1 (me) and click on Data Summary, I get my info. When I click on spouse 2, I get my info again. But when I try to open my husband’s file into spouse 2, I get the following message:

"A file in the spouse workspace is already opened. Please save or discard your file before opening the file for the spouse."

I have tried every way I can think of to get the Greg file to open, with no success.

Answer:

Here are a few tips:

- There is an interactive demo on the following page that explains saving files. It takes only a few minutes. Go to the following page:

- You name files the same way as any Windows file. There are two files, one for each spouse. You can't save both spouses in one file.

Here is more information on opening files:

- Open the software.

- Then open your first file, go to General Information. If you have written a name in "Spouse File Name", remove it and click ok. Now you have a file open in the "Spouse 1" workspace.

- Click the "Spouse 2" icon, open your spouse's file, do the same thing to the spouse file name. Now your spouse's file is open in the "Spouse 2" workspace".

- The "spouse file name" is an optional field, and sometimes makes it difficult to users.

- You may have saved Greg's data in your 'Linda' file, or Linda's in Greg's. Verify which is the correct one.
