Simply? If you have a backup file that predates your accident, you
could File-> Restore.

If you don't want to lose transactions since that backup from before
your accident, doing the merge is not really complex. Or was it my
suggestion that you make an extra just-in-case backup that sounds
not simple? File-> Backup is easy. You are very unlikely to need that
backup, but I like to be cautious.

If you don't have a suitable backup file, this could be an
opportunity to think about your backup strategy.

Is there no way to simply reconnect the account?

Make an extra backup or copy of your file.

Let Money 2005 create that new account. After the new account is
set up for download, MergeDuplicateAccounts. Note there is a warning
about losing older transactions. People don't usually lose the older
transactions in the process, but you can restore or revert back to
the other file if you don't like the result.

Well yes Sir it does. I am running Money '05. If you read my post again, I
mentioned that:

I said, ""If I go to "Manage online services" I am able to set up online
services for my bank, but it opens up a whole new account.""

Does your program have AccountList-> ManageOnlineServices?

I accidently stopped the online updates on my main checking account, thinking
i was stopping it on another account (since you cannot manage your online
updates by account title for some reason). Now I can't figure out how to set
it back up again. It does not give me the option. It does not say "Provide
sign in information" next to the account. If I go to "Manage online
services" I am able to set up online services for my bank, but it opens up a
whole new account.

Help. How do I get my checking account setup for online updates again?
