Hi All,
I decided to keep the program and my demo version is now a paid one.
I may be missing something, but I am having trouble getting Money Talks to consistently add payees to the memorized list if I changed my mind about what to call the payee or disagree with what the bank calls them.
For example, I originally had one payee as. Peapod Groceries the way my bank lists it for my grocery delivery service, but decided I'd get tired of all that verbiage and would like to have the payee as simply Peapod. I made sure the first occurrence for Peapod was just Peapod and deleted the long name from the memorized list, but when I type pea and arrow down to have the program fill in the list, both versions are listed.
I have a person who receives checks from my bank's e-bill paying service and I've repeatedly changed it to her name from the check no. the bank lists for each payment to her. However, her name is not listed in the memorized names list.
I pay 2 separate bills to the same financial institution for 2 different accounts and my bank just lists both with the name of the financial institution, I. e. Consolidated Financial Co. (not the real name) and I spent ages establishing separate names to help me keep them separate, i. e. CFC MC and CFCDS in addition to using the sub category, but one of them isn't listed at all in the memorized list and the listing for the Consolidated Financial Co. listing is still there after I've repeatedly deleted it with Control-D.
I'm going to go crazy if I have to keep correcting the payee name if I can't get the memorized lists to keep the correct ones in to delete the "wrong" ones. I started a new account for practice to see what downloading the bank's history was like to see if I could save time from manually inputting the data and it added names into the memorized list of the "good"account that I'll have to go back and try to delete.
I'm still at the point where starting from scratch is feasible if I have to continually fight with the memorized lists, but I'm hoping I'm missing something and they won't be a continual headache.
Thanks,
Margaret iluvtoread@xxxxxxx
