Title Message: "A different Quicken data file is already associated with this Quicken.com user."
KB ID#: 7059
Categories: Online Banking/Bill Payment
Question: When synchronizing my account, why do I receive the following message?
A different Quicken data file is already associated with this Quicken.com user.
 
Possible
Cause:
This message will appear when an account is synchronized to a Quicken.com ID that has been synchronized with another Quicken data file.
 
Answer:

To use the bank synchronize feature, synchronize to a Quicken.com ID that has not been previously used by another data file:

  1. From the Quicken Finance menu, choose One Step Update, and then click Options.
  2. Click the Connection tab.
  3. Select Let me change my Quicken.com login the next time I update, and then click OK.
  4. Click Update Now.
  5. Click Yes to the message: "Quicken needs you to enter your Quicken.com username and password. Would you like to do that now?"
  6. When asked if you have previously registered to use Quicken.com, click No to create a new ID. The Quicken program will then detect your previous Quicken.com ID.
  7. Click New User and follow the onscreen instructions to complete the process.

If you do not want to synchronize with Quicken.com:

  1. From the Quicken Finance menu, choose One Step Update.
  2. Clear all of the option checkboxes under Synchronize with Quicken.com, and then click Update Now.
  3. Click Update Now.

Note: For bank synchronization, there is a one to one relationship between a Quicken file and a Quicken.com User ID. Other integrated features, such as quotes, portfolio update, reminders, and WebEntry do not have this requirement.
