Stop it! I say STOP!!

[Qkn Dlx 2016 R6 on Vista Ultimate 32 bit SP2]

BACKGROUND: As most do, I suppose, I have a Memorized Payee List. I also fo llow the practice of manually entering every transaction, and letting Qkn f ind "New" ones on downloads, thus alerting me to errors or forgetfulness on my part, or dastardly fraud against us. In manual entries I frequently, bu t not always, have a notation in the Memo field (what I bought, whom we inv ited, etc.).



ISSUE: After downloading transactions, on acceptance, Qkn often fills a Mem o field that I left blank with "garbage" from the FI - usually a transactio n code of some sort and a phone number, presumably of the vendor.



I know about the setting in the Memorized Payee List to avoid auto-categori zation, but nothing there about auto-memo-scribbling.



QUESTION: How might I curtail the auto-memo-scribbling?



I admit I haven't tried (or tried and forgot result) entering a "space" in the Memo field when I have nothing to say, just so it looks "occupied field " to Quicken.



Thanks to all.


That is probably the solution. I don't know for sure, but it definitely makes sense that the space inserted in the memo field is probably the answer.

o follow the practice of manually entering every transaction, and letting Q kn find "New" ones on downloads, thus alerting me to errors or forgetfulnes s on my part, or dastardly fraud against us.

gorization, but nothing there about auto-memo-scribbling.

Tried it and actually remembered to check. SPACE does not work and gets ove rridden by FI downloaded string. HOWEVER, a hyphen does do the trick. I'll try a period next time around.
