Schwab downloads failing

I am using Quicken 2004, and everything has been working fine. However, for the past couple of days, my Schwab direct download has failed. The direct connect is working for my Chase, Fidelity, TRowe & Vanguard,

but my Schwab has started failing the last couple of days.... OL-293A

Don't know if it is my local config, the recent software download to Quicken 2004, or something at Schwab.

BTW - I don't think this is related to the old SSL 2.0 problem, I reported several months ago. I just manually checked and both IE 7.0 and Firefox 2.0 seem to access the download site -

-just fine on port 443 using SSL 3.0... Any other thoughts why my Schwab download is resulting in a OL-293A ?

FWIW, I just downloaded from Schwab using Q2004 H&B Release 5 with no problems. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Try changing your user ID at the Schwab web site and then in Quicken. Remember to change the vault setting if you use the PIN Vault. This worked for me, yesterday! Good luck!

This may be totally unrelated, but when I was getting OL-332-A errors with Schwab it was because my password was more than 8 characters in length.

I don't know what else to look for.....

Just tried deactivating & then activating the account. It establishes the online access, but fails to download holdings, balances, & recent activity.

Am running IE 7.0 and Firefox 2.0 Tried with SSL 2.0 enabled or disabled - no difference... While keeping SSL 3.0 enabled. Can access the download website with SSL 3.0 -

password is 7 chars - has worked for years, along with ID. Can access Schwab website with same ID + password just fine.

I'm still wondering if that latest mysterious Quicken 2004 software download did something that is causing a problem for Schwab, but not the others ?

Anyway - this is my main brokerage account... and I'm getting nervous.

here's the reply from Schwab - Basically - they have installed a new system, and the old "all numeric" IDs are not allowed !! ie - the entire world of SSN that was used for IDs, is now void !! NICE huh - not even a note on the website or anything - GREAT !!
