Memorized transaction frustration John Oliver 09-29-2007

Every piddly little item I enter is memorized forever until I manually
delete it from the Memorized Transaction list. But items that are
entered each month but not schedueled are promptly forgotten, and need
to be manually re-entered each month.

How to fix this backwards behavior?

John:

You can turn off "Automatically memorize new payees" in Preferences.
If indeed you are making the same transaction each month, why not go ahead
and Schedule them?
Is it possible that you have those transactions locked so you can't update
them?

Anything is possible! I will check tonight.

I haven't Schedueled these transactions because the amounts vary. But
maybe I will, and set it to notify me a few days in advance, and
manually fix the amounts that way.

Thanks.

As is normally the case, such things are "fixed" with education. I
highly recommend you get some. Indeed, it's quite a liberating
experience ;-)

In the meantime, what does Edit: Preferences: Quicken Program: Register:
Remove memorized transactions after X months say in your Quicken? And
how about Edit: Preferences: Quicken Program: Quickfill: Automatically
memorize new payees? Hell Quicken even annoying offers to create
scheduled transactions for you.

Just because your ignorant of the program's capability does not
necessarily mean you need to come in here all huffy and puffy
proclaiming the program is somehow "backwards". It's you who is
backwards who ask questions without the least bit of investigation
towards the solutions to your perceived problems.
