I don't think QuickFill is totally different than memorized
payees; I think it uses memorized payees ... as well as other
sources.

Note that all the fields mentioned are fields that we know
Quicken saves data for; either the field's data must already
exist in a known Quicken "List" (categories, classes, etc.) or
Quicken maintains an internal value ("next check number"). I
believe that QuickFill uses that saved data (mostly from Quicken
Lists) when it "completes" a field for you.

I believe there are at least three sources for the names in the
drop down list ... and the list itself should give you enough
information to determine what the source is. Payees in the drop
down list can come from the Memorized Payee list, the Address
Book, or the Online Payee List. The latter two will have their
source identified in the drop down; memorized payees are not
identified as "memorized payees", they will have info from the
memorized payee list (such as category, amount, etc.) alongside
their names.

I believe there are at least three sources for the names in the
drop down list ... and the list itself should give you enough
information to determine what the source is. Payees in the drop
down list can come from the Memorized Payee list, the Address
Book, or the Online Payee List. The latter two will have their
source identified in the drop down; memorized payees are not
identified as "memorized payees", they will have info from the
memorized payee list (such as category, amount, etc.) alongside
their names.
I do think it's possible for come corruption to come into play,
but I have no real proof. One could try Validating their data,
or even deleting all the Memorized Payees and auto-creating a
new Memorized Payee List (probably won't match the previous one;
I think it just makes a memorized payee from every payee, but
might be a shorter way to get the list back than individually
memorizing the appropriate transactions.
