Hi Dennis, You have several choices when you and another person in your family own the same issues. One is to change the ticker for the second account by adding an extra letter or number; another is to install Newport to a separate directory (or subdirectory) and keep your spouse's accounts separate from yours, and your third choice is to co-mingle the accounts as one single account in Newport. The last is the least satisfactory in that you will have to decide how to divide up buy and sell market orders for the combined account. I've installed Newport to several different directories for family members and my "what if" watch accounts. These then print results and recommendations separate from any other account. This has worked best for me. (there's a way after you've installed the program in each account to delete the .EXE files from each directory and use just one, thus saving hard drive space. I have an old write-up on the subject if you would like a copy.) Best regards, Tom
