What I was interested in was what specific type of brokerage
accounts. Regular, IRA, 401k, 529, Single Mutual Fund, etc.
Which account types did you already have setup, and what type is
the "new" account?

There is a way to move the data, but that won't help you get the
account downloading in the original file.

You have 20 accounts at Smith Barney? [Or: How many accounts do
you have at Smith Barney?]
I was trying to find out if it mattered whether you tried to
setup one new Smith Barney account when you already had a couple
of Smith Barney accounts activated for download ... as opposed
to having no Smith Barney accounts setup, then setting them all
up in one download.
[The test you did in the new file only created, and setup, one
SB account (as I understand you): I'm looking to see what
happens when more than one SB account is setup ... preferably,
when you setup all your SB accounts ... in a New file.]

I don't think so. OFXlog files should be created (or updated)
everytime you do a Direct download. I don't know what the TMP
file is.

Probably why you only saw the OFXlog for the first time.
