Questions About Quicken 2005

These questions have probably been asked before and I missed the fix so let me ask them again. I'm using Quicken 2005 and have a couple of observations.


  1. Why does Quicken create a new "renaming rule" for payees I already have? I'm guessing it has something to do with going to multiple locations for the same store name (i.e.: Walmart, Walgreens, Sears, etc.).


  1. When I post multiple transactions with the same date Quicken sorts them so that those transactions that resulted from using a check card (no check number) get resorted and placed ahead of transactions that have a paper check number. I want them to remain in exactly the same order as I entered them. It used to do this for me but I must have hummed something up. Is there a setting I need to click/unclick?



There used to be a guy from New Orleans and a guy named Pollard or Pollock on here that once they chewed you out for being dumb where pretty good at answering your questions. Perhaps they have a fix.


Yes, when you download transactions, many times the store number may be part of the name (e.g. Walmart #543), where you just want to have "Walmart". Personally I have it disabled via: Edit > Quicken Preferences > Register > Download transactions

In the register select View > Sort by Date / Order Entered
