Where you may possibly encounter problems in having two related
entities within the one set of books will be with the business features
which AFAIK are designed with only a single entity in mind.

subaccounts to keep our

If your jurisdiction's tax agency says you keep the books separately
that would be a very powerful reason.

The other way is to run multiple users and switch between the users
when you need to use a different set of books. Then the user
preferences are unique to each user and therefor each set of books.
Requires a logoff/login as the new user.

of course if you can afford multiple computers and

Brook,
I have in the past run multiple instances on different books with no
major problems apart from the workflow issues Michael bought up.
All sets of books are then subject to the same set of user preferences
and changing them for one changes them for all.
The other way is to run multiple u

How about this case:
Run the command line interface to get stock quotes for one book
Yes, I agree. However, there are always potential human mistakes that can
occur, even with a single book. Many of those can be mitigated in various ways.
For the moment, I am wondering if there are any technical reasons that simply
preclude the option and make all those possible challenges
I agree with Stan's scenario. In a former life, the company I was working
for had two companies in the same set of books.
One was to do with running a holiday park, the other the entertainment side
- there was a tax advantage to this.
So I had separate nominals for the entertainment part with their

FSVO "safe", yes it is, at least in Windows.
Caution: reports, preferences, and most-recently used (with geometry of
the window) are per user and not per book(*). Therefore, depending on
the sequence in which you make changes and close files, you may find
that some or all of the changes you made

There is also a work flow/error consideration. I think working with two
sets of books open would be a very bad idea because of

If so, what settings are shared between them and therefore must be the same? I
can think of all the general settings, which mostly seem to be preferences
