2nd checking account Jim Orson 09-18-2007

I have a cash flow account set up in Quicken with BofA. In this account is
a separate checking account and a separate savings account. When I access
the BofA website, I have one log-in to access both the checking account and
the savings account online. When I download transactions, both checking and
savings are updated in Quicken. This is exactly as I want it to be. Now
the question: I have added a 2nd checking account to the BofA account. It
appears online with the same log-in page as the original checking account
and the savings account. How is the best way to add this 2nd checking
account to the existing BofA family in Quicken? I want it to behave like it
has been, just with 3 parts rather than 2.

Thanks for any help!

Jim...

I'm confused by your first two sentences, but after that, your
situation sounds just like mine: I have two checking accounts
and one savings account with BofA (All Other States).

I don't recall having to do anything special when I created the
second checking account. I think I just added the account in
Quicken, then clicked the Activate button for downloading
transactions.

Quicken knows that accounts with the same financial institution
name normally download in the same One Step Update.

Thanks John, just what I needed to know.

PS: regarding your confusion with the 1st two sentences of the original
post - I didn't know what else to call the account. Quicken calls it a
"cash flow account" (as opposed to an "investment" account or a "property
and debt account") in the account bar on the left of the screen. However,
if YOU are confused then I know I am not describing it properly. BTW,
that's a compliment.
