I actually used a checkbox on the "first draft" of my fix. Then decided it was redundant since an empty / not-empty edit box meant the same thing (and I would only need to store one new thing for the account, the string; instead of 2, the string and the checkbox state). But a checkbox may be more obvious to the user. My other thought on the string itself: per a document I found (I think from Intuit, I don't recall), Quicken, using an irreversible "secure algorithm", combines a 128 bit random number associated with the data file, the USERID, and the Branding Identifier (BID) of the FI to generate the CLIENTUID.   Using the same exact string (the file ID) for different institutions would be a little less secure. Jeff
