If instead of deleting and re-entering the brokerage account, will it  
work if you just tab into that field and then go to another field?  Is  
the name of the brokerage account as originally set up by KMM, or did  
you choose an existing account to use?  I have found it only works with  
the original name, which is the name of the investment account followed  
by "(Brokerage)".
