SYMPTOMSWhen you try to set up online services for multiple users at
the same bank, you cannot do so. You can modify the properties of the first
account, but you cannot add a new one.CAUSEThis issue occurs because Microsoft Money differentiates
online services by the name of the financial institution and the logon
credentials. RESOLUTIONTo resolve this issue, do one of the following. Note This procedure applies only to direct online services for
accounts with unique online setup information (ID and password). You do not
have to do this if you use the same online ID and password for all your
accounts at this bank, or if you do online banking through your bank's Web
site. Option 1: Link the accountsIf you and your partner hold accounts at one bank or broker and
you both want to access the accounts through online services, contact the bank
or broker to see if they can link the accounts. By doing so, you can use the
same user ID and password to log on to either account. Option 2: You cannot link the accountsIf your bank or broker cannot link your accounts, you can still
set up online services for each account. To do so, follow these steps:
- Click Accounts and Bills, and then click
Online Services Manager.
- Click Specify where accounts are
held.
- Double-click the account that you want to set up with a
different User ID and Pin number.
- In the textbox to the right of Held at,
type the new name for the financial institution as Name
of Bank - Name of 2nd
User.
- Click OK, and then click
Done.
- In the Online Services Manager, click
Change Financial Institution for the renamed Bank.
- Go through the online services setup.
Option 3: the Second user's account is not yet set up If you have to set up the second account, follow these steps:
- Click Accounts and Bills, and then click
Account Setup.
- Click Add a new account.
- In the textbox to the right of Held at,
type the new name for the financial institution as Name
of Bank - Name of 2nd
User.
- Click Next, and then follow the prompts to
finish account setup.
- Setup online services normally. Money will not separate the
two Financial Institutions.
