Capitalization of payee names

Feb 28, 2010 3 Replies

This is a problem I've had with Quicken for as long as I can remember. The capitalization of often-used payees becomes more and more random with use. For instance, I use this payee quite often:



ACME COMPANY



To use it, I type ac, and Quicken fills in the rest. However, over time the capitalization has become increasingly random, so it is now



AcmE COMpany



or something similar, even though I always have Quicken fill it in. I can do a search, sort it by date, and see the capitalization changing over time. It's done this since I started using Quicken in the late



1980s.

So I've decided to do a search and replace to make it Acme Company. However, when I attempt to replace, Quicken fills the replace box with AcmE COMpany regardless of the captitalization that I actually key.



Is there a way to do the replace and force the capitalization I want? I've even tried replacing it with a completely different name, exiting Quicken, restarting it, and replacing the new name, but it still forces the bad capitalization.



Thanks!

Try deleting the payee from the Memorized Payee List.

Thanks, but I have no memorized payees. I use the QuickFill option to fill in the payee names. Turning off QuickFill allows me to search and replace the existing transactions with the proper capitalization, but when I turn QuickFill back on, I still see only the incorrect versions of the payees.
