I searched on this subject and found a number of posts, but none of the "fixes" seem to work for me.
When I download my transactions from my bank or my credit card, I don't get my memorized catagories on the payees filled in. I have all the boxes checked in the quickfill. My son uses quicken and when he downloads from his bank, the program fills out the categories (not always right, but "best guess" at least makes corrections easy). We can't find any differences in our set ups. I am presently using Quicken 2006, but I have had this problem with all my past versions too.
If I right-click one of the downloaded transactions that Quicken did not fill in the category for, and click "Memorize Payee", and then look in the Memorized Payee List, I have a second memorized transaction for the existing payee. This should indicate that the memorized payee was recognized by Quicken but not filled in.
Filling them in over and over again is a pain. What am I doing wrong?
