Bob, I understand they are freely available. My point is simply this...
I don't feel comfortable to have mine associated directly to me. If
others want to disseminate that info for the world to see, that's their
call. However, in my opinion, the identity thieves that seem to be
lurking EVERYWHERE seem to be getting better and smarter everyday. I
for one refuse to even give them a small piece of my pie (i.e. my Banks
Routing Number), however casual and insignificant it may seem to the
passing eye.
Anyway, back to my original issue (it seems we are getting side-tracked
on providing or not providing Routing/ABA numbers) - can anyone please
tell me if what I have originally asked - the problem that my RN will
sometime revert back to 123456789 in a few days or weeks like it has
always done... is this a bug in QD 2006 or what can I do to get my
Routing Number to stay when I enter it with the various Accounts?
Thanks... Gunner

In my very minor experience there are only 3 possibilities:
- There is something wrong with your Q2006 setup.
- You are (in)advertently restoring a backup with the 123456789 number,
rather than the real RN
- Something (reboot?) automagically restores an old data file.
Assuming that you can at laest once quit Quicken, then restart it with the
correct RN:
Quit Quicken.
Rename the directory or directories wherein Quicken data files are stored
(including those with the backups)
Make sure you remember the old directory name(s) so you can rename back to
the old names.
Make a shortcut on your desktop pointing to the most recent *.qdf file.
Power down, remove the powercord and any network cables so the machine is
truly powerless.
Walk around the block or otherwise wait sufficient time to let any
remaining charges in the system leak away.
Power back up, and use the shortcut you just made to restart Quicken.
Let us know what happens.

Please log in for more thread options Han, Thanks for the in-depth reply. On the 3 possibilities you
mention... I think you are right that it's more than likely one of them.
Lets take'em in the order you suggested:
"- There is something wrong with your Q2006 setup." --- I have other
accounts with other Financial Institutions, and they (Brokerage Firms &
Credit Cards) they ALL work fine. It's probably safe to rule that out.
"- You are (in)advertently restoring a backup with the 123456789 number,
rather than the real RN" --- I have looked at that as well, as I would
go in and change the 123456789 number to the good one BEFORE I made a
back-up - thus any back-up that I might bring in would have had the good
number. Given the way I do the backups, I think we can also rule that
out.
"- Something (reboot?) automagically restores an old data file" --- Your
guess is as good as mine. There appears to be no specific pattern. I
do one step updates everyday and I had thought that maybe that was
causing it, but if it was, it should do it each time (at least that's
what I think). I know that I have reset/re-entered these number
countless times, and every now and then when I'm poking around I'll look
at the Account Details Screen it will have reverted BACK to 123456789
number... Grrrrrrrrrr!
Hahaha, believe it or not, I've also done the power down, change
directories deal you talked about. I haven't walked around the block
although I've sure felt like it (hahaha) - If that works, I'd walk
around the block 10 times! I've also felt like leaking on the whole
system if ya get my drift.
I've done the close, restart, reboot and the correct number is there.
But eventually, it ALWAYS somehow reverts back to the 123456789.
number. That's why after all this time I got fed-up with it and figured
I'd put out my original post and see if anyone knew what was going on or
how to correct this problem.
Maybe, just maybe, it's the way I get the One-Step Updates from this
particular FI that is the problem, or it's a bug in QD 2006
(specifically with the FI that I'm using). Since I did a bunch of
research on this prior to posting, I couldn't find any other people with
the same problem. So, that leads me down the road that it's a good
possibility it's MY Quicken/FI interface problem. If that's the case,
then where does that leave me? - the FI will say it's not their fault,
and Quicken/Intuit will say it's not their fault either. Been through
similar things before - and it's a lose/lose situation for the end user.
Well, time will tell I reckon.
I do appreciate you response and I'll try to remember to info this
thread/group when it changes back or someone offers up a fix. I know
it's been a mystery to me and remains so to this day.
Thanks... Gunner

Please log in for more thread options I don't know the answer to this problem either, sorry, but here's a shot in
the dark: try validating the file. And if that doesn't work and you trust
your backups, try a super validate.

It might help the gurus (among whom I am not numbered ): ) if you could
clarifty that "eventually" with greater detail. For example, will the
reversion occur *before* you do an online update? Or only after? And are
you saying specifically that after it happens, you can no longer complete an
online update - ie. is the problem really functional or merely cosmetic?

Ah, so you're saying it occurs only *after* a one step update? If that's
the case, there appears to be a log file that might contain a clue. It's in
the same directory as the file data. It's named yourfilenameOFXLOG.DAT .
Unfortunately, it's binary. Maybe an Intuit tech support - or a guru here -
can reveal how to read it.
What happens if you log into your FI account through a web browser and do a
"donwload to quicken" (assuming they permit that)? Does that cause the
mutation?
Hope you solve the problem, and if so, please post the solution.
-Ron

Get it right after the download, as in short order it will get
overwritten with newer downloads.
Best bet is to "Save" the log file so you can peruse at your
leisure.
