Since all of the bank fees and reversals fall on basically the same days
every month, I think that's a grand idea and I'll try that. Thanks. We'll
see next month.

So, this is a checking account download with no (or few) payees provided in
the download?

That probably makes it a little harder. The algorithm is what it is; without
the information it has to go on changing, I'd expect it to keep working the
same way. If all it has to go in is $15 and it doesn't look for patterns of
$15 but looks for a first instance of a $15 transaction, there's no way to
guarantee anything else. You could go find that payee in Find and change the
$15 transaction to $14.99 (put a $0.01 transaction in next to keep balances
sane). That might work.

From what I know of downloaded transactions, I think your best bet is to go
and schedule the fee in Bills & Deposits and see if it will match that
instead. This amounts to giving it more information to go on.

I don't download transaction data. I skip all of these headaches right
there.

"Download", granted, would have been a helpful word in my initial posting and
assume that is all that was "inadequate" in that post.
Somewhere in the history of my 12-15 years with MS Money a payee received
$15. Since then, whenever there is a $15 downloaded transaction, MS Money
wants to auto-fill that old payee in.
Because this is an automatic bank charge (subsequently offset by an
automatic credit within a day or so), not something I have filled in, Money
is apparently (only my guess) guessing too about who the payee could be and
rather than look at 12 transactions a year, for at least 5 or 6 years, and
seeing the bank charge, it settles on this one payee from years gone by.
I thought there may be a way to guarantee the proper payee.

Figure out where it's coming from (payee rules, implicit payees, an explicit
payee) and correct/rename and/or delete that payee?

You seem to suggest that Money suggests the payee because the amounts match?
I assume, from inadequate information, that it is matching a payee in a
download with some other payee.

I have one monthly transaction that Money 05 (and its predecessors)
auto-fills the incorrect payee because sometime in years past I must have had
a $15 charge from this payee . It is one of the more cinsistent features of
Money, even if it's wrong, but is there a way to change an incorrect
auto-fill?
