I think what you suggested would work, but I took another approach, which was
going to both institutions and adding access to the "other" account in each
case, to the account that was properly downloading. So, with one sign-on I
am getting both accounts download. It's not how I wanted to do it,
particularly in the case of my wife's and CC account and may indeed try your
sugestion some time when I have more time to devote to it. This worked, so I
may not fool with it under the "if it works, don't..." belief.
I had considered deleteing her account and starting over, but as someone
else had noted, if I tried to delete ONE account at the financial
institution, '05 wanted to delete BOTH and all records. Not an option.
Thanks for the help. I am a 12-15 year MS $ user and it astounds me this
one operates so far from the logic of previous versions without clear
enhancements, for me.

Here is "the other thread":

The suggestion was this:
=====================================


If you have different login credentials, this is something I think
will work for you. Keep an extra copy/backup of your file in case
you do not like the result.

Create the new account but when you get to the "Assign a financial
institution" window specify that the institution is at "MyBank
Alice" or some such. Then on the next window you "Confirm the name
of your financial institution" to MyBank from the list. If you
already have the accounts, try changing the Financial Institution in
the Account Details. You might have to stop online access for that
institution first. Make your changes. Then set up online access
again.


The plan is that Money treat them as separate institutions and makes
separate requests with separate access info.


This has not come up for Money 2005 that I remember, so there may be
some factor that I am not considering. Let us know how it works for
you.

I have searched and cannot find the "other thread" referenced in this
posting. I have similar problems in that my wife and I have separate credit
card accounts at the same institution and at another institution we have both
checking and savings accounts. I cannot seem to get 05 to allow me two
separate accounts with two separate sign-ons in either of these cases. These
aren't small, local institutions and I never had the problem with MS 03.
What is the solution?

I don't think so. I was just looking into what factors contributed
to your success.

That is used to allow access of your Money data via a web server
from other computers via the internet, and to allow a type of access
where a third party accesses the data from your bank websites using
your logon credentials. That can be useful when your bank does not
provide access on its own.

I was glad to read on the other thread that you solved this.
Question: do you have a Passport on your file?
