That worked! Not at first, however. I deleted the entry, then started to type it in again, but since Quicken had memorized the transaction that same erroneous entry reappeared. So I deleted the entry again, and then I typed a generic name for the payee and typed everything anew on the transaction page, and finally the entry was saved correctly. Thanks!
