As I said in another message I just sent, "I said that wrong. It`s
not the TD Ameritrade accounts that have incorrect financial
institutions, it`s the two accounts with the incorrect nicknames that
now have Charles Schwab & Co, Inc, as their Financial Institution."
So is that related to the problem? How can I fix it?

I guess I could do that, but I`m reluctant to perhaps lose any
transactions since the backup.

I now have one account that has Schwab as its financial institution,
although it`s still called TD Ameritrade. The other three accounts are
still TD Ameritrade, both with regard to name and financial
institution. Should I deactivate all four? Unless you think otherwise,
that seems safer than restoring a backup.

Sorry, I`m having trouble understanding that. Are you saying I should
do that instead of what you said in your earlier message (restoring a
backup or deactivating)? If so, can you be more specific about exactly
how I should do what you suggest.
