I use Quicken Bill Pay through the Quicken Program. I used to use Quicken 2005 but was forced to upgrade by Intuit to 2008.
I pay bills through Quicken Bill Pay and NEVER have set up logging into my own bank to download transactions.
All was well after the upgrade for the first month.
Then all of a sudden things went a bit crazy or lets say not the way I like them.
If I make an ONLINE payment to a vendor in Quicken 2008 it normally appears in the check register within the program. Fine. I send the transaction to Quicken Bill Pay via the One Step Update.
Fine and dandy. However, a few days later when I launch Quicken 2008 and do a One Step Update, it will connect to Quicken Bill Pay and download transactions for me to MATCH to existing transactions in the Register.
***I DO NOT want any transactions downloaded. I do not want to perform any matching at all. It would be normal to download transactions if I made them via the Quicken Web. But it is downloading any ONLINE payment I send via the Quicken program.
Okay, so if I sent 4 online payments, then a few days later when I do a One Step Update, it will download the 4 transactions for matching purposes. If I select ACCEPT ALL, then things go nutso and I will have duplicate (I assume unmatched) transactions in my register which throws off the balance.
****How can I stop the insanity of downloading transactions from Bill Pay for matching? Did not do this in version 2005.
****At one time time it downloaded 300+ transactions for me to review and match. I did not even make 300 online payments in the last couple days. Is this something new? Did I enable something I should not have?
Tech support did not help and would not escalate my call.
(Validate and Super Validate did not help. Creating an entirely new file for Quicken and importing qif data did not help eliminate this matching issue for me either)
Thanks so much Patty
