I'm seeing double...

More often than not when entering a split for a memorized payee, whatever categories I have entered previously are doubled when I open the spilt box, including the monetary values I last entered. So, if I have a line for "Groceries" with a value of $1.00 & a line for "Tax:Sales" with a value of $0.07, the total amount is $2.14. Has anyone encountered this and/or come up with a solution?

And in keeping with the "double" theme, I have an additional question. I have asked this one before, but so far still stumped.

At one point some versions of Quicken ago I set my check writing options to allow an extra memo which appeared above the signature line. Now I want to get rid of that but I can't figure out how to for memorized payees. Under Edit: Preferences: Write checks, Allow entry of extra message on check is unchecked. Sooo, I'm stumped. Does anyone know of a fix short of deleting the payee? Or is delete & re-entry the way to go?

Thanks, zlatts

Yes, that happened to me just after a recent move from Q11 to Q13. I discovered maybe six "double" transactions when an "uncategorized" amount began appearing in P&L statements. The way it happened with me, using your example, is the groceries and tax amounts were duplicated, using four lines in the split and adding up to $2.14. There was also, however, a fifth line with no category and a negative $1.07, which brought the five-line total to $1.07, the amount in the main register.

I check every so often, but the problem has not reappeared.

Thanks for confirming that I'm not seeing (imagining) things! And since you mentioned it, this occurred shortly after I, too, upgraded to Q13.

I would delete the memorized transactions and re-memorize, for both problems.

For the extra message problem, I'd make sure I was memorizing a transaction that did not have an extra message.

Will try, thank you. I've adjusted the duplicates, but never completely deleted & re-entered. Again, thanks.
