Password protection
I would like to know how to password protect my Moneydance. Since it is on my laptop, is there some way that I can set one?

Nuheart,
Yes, it is possible to encrypt and password protect your data file.
To encrypt your data, go to File -> Encryption and then follow the steps below. 1. When the encryption window is displayed, click on the Encrypt Data File box.
2. Enter your password and then confirm the password by typing it again in the Confirm field.
3. Type a hint in the Hint field, in case you forget your password.
You can find more details about encryption and other great Moneydance tools in the Moneydance 2010 user guide, which is located here. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance,

We know we can encrypt & password protect the data. We want to protect
the program when it starts up with a password. Is that possible?

By following the instructions above you will have to enter your password before the program will open (which is what it sounds like you are looking for). So to open the program you click on the MD icon and a box will open asking for your password. You need to enter it correctly and only then will the program will open.
