Quicken chanages my payees, why God why?

May 9, 2007 11:08 AM

Quicken 2006 for Mac: when I download transactions, all checks (not other transactions) show up always paid to the same person--the wrong person, and the same (wrong) category. I can manually change the wrong info, but then it reverts when I "accept." I can again manually change it in the main register where it will stick. Any advice?

I know this is probably better asked on a tech support site, but the Quicken boards seem to be filled mostly with lost customers like me complaining and not getting help. Thanks for any advice!

Are you downloading it as a web connection or as a QIF file?

My thought is that you have a memorized transaction in there somewhere and that this is picking up on that. Go to Lists > QuickFill Transactions. Look for something in there that seems similar to what is coming up for you and try deleting it.

Response by poster: That sounds exactly right! (I get my bank transactions via web connect).

Thanks for the advice--I'll give it a go.
