I have several investment accounts with USAA. They offer direct
downloads to Quicken; if you want to take advantage of that, you
should setup your accounts to match what USAA expects. In my
case, in Quicken, I have a non-retirement brokerage account, a
non-retirement mutual fund account; a retirement brokerage
account, and a couple of retirement mutual fund accounts
(Traditional, Roth).

Yes it is possible to merge Quicken accounts: export to qif,
then follow the instructions I posted in a thread titled "How to
Import QIF Files to Non-cash Accounts, post Q2004 " in the
"Other Topics" in the Quicken Support Forums. (I and others
have also posted those instructions in this newsgroup and other
discussions in the Quicken Support Forums.)

If you have a brokerage acc't w/USAA you just need the brokerage acc't #;
however, if you have mutual fund acc'ts USAA uses obscure #'s assigned to
each acc't. Not all tech support knew this when I first started trying to
download (they may now, this was several years ago). If this is the case
w/your situation do a backup & then see which transactions match each acc't.
