There are many unwanted variations of a single payee present in the
payee dropdown list, usually due to account number changes, etc.
Efforts to pare them back included cleaning up the online payee list,
memorized transaction list, and checking the "remove payee's not used
in xx months". They still remain.
Using quicken 2006. TIA for any successful methods to remove these
unwanted payees.

I'd like a Bentley, please.
Your changes deal with future transactions. Use Edit>Find &
Replace>Edit/Replace. Search for the old payees with "Payee", "Contains" to
capture variations, check (click in box) those you want to change, then use
"Edit Transactions" and fill in "Replace selected fileds with" section.
Done.
The Bentley should, preferably, be the sporty two-door in black.
Thanks
Jay

Lemme see if I understand this: even though a payee is no longer in the
payee list, if you happen to have a [historical] transaction that was sent
to that payee, Quicken will continue to 'remember' it? You learn something
every day..:o) [also accounts for why it is so hard to 'fix' this for
someone [like the lab my Dr. uses] that gets me a different account/invoice
number every time: the previous transactions are always still there in my
register.] tnx!

You might also try seeing if you have multiple entries (or unwanted entries)
for them in the Address Book as well. I had a payee I couldn't figure for
the life of me where it was still getting info from, and that's where is
lurked, despite my not explicitly using the 'Address Book'. I am not saying
for a fact this has anything to do with your problem, but it might have some
bearing.

No problem - by the way, I remember John Pollard had given this advice to
someone and it helped me at the time as well, so I remembered it. (I
thought I had quoted the source in my original post. Sorry John.)
