Is it possible to add online services to existing investment account without creating a new account?

I have been using an older version of Quicken and just upgraded to the online version. While attempting to setup the online updating of an existing investment account it ask for a name of the account. I cannot put the current name in as it indicates that this is already in use. The program wants to create a new account. Is it only possible to use this feature when setting up a new account?

On one of the screens, Q asks to "add" the account, you need to change that to "link" and then select the correct existing account.

WHAT "online version".  Q is a desktop product, with QWeb and QMobile adjuncts that act in cooperation with that desktop product ... but not as standalone products.

A little confused....

1 - Guessing you have purchased the current Quicken, downloaded it and install it - correct ?
2 - What version does it show...... Help --> About Quicken

3 - You should be able to go to any EXISTING Quicken Account and merely setup the online feature.
It will then connect to the bank, prompt for your bank User ID and password, display a list of accounts "found" -
and then offer you a choice .....
A - create new account
B - "link" to your existing Quicken account..... PICK LINK -

I have the same problem, and I don't see the options you describe. Here is what I see when I try to connect my Quicken account to Online Banking. When I click on "Set up Now," it takes me to the second screen where I am asked to set up a NEW account. There is never a "link" option.
