Thanks for your help. The registry command thing did not work. I'm using
Money 2005, not 2006. I tried replacing the 15.0 to 14.0 (which is what
Money 2005 appears to use as I saw when I was poking around in regedit) but
it still didn't work. I don't think that 2005 has an Online subdirectory of
14.0 in the registry.

This information file that would be generated would seem to be really
helpful information if I could get it.

Thanks again,

Ryan

If you want to investigate what is coming in, while Money 2006 is
open copy the four lines between the equal-sign lines to a file
named Provlog6.reg:
================beginProvlog6.reg================= ======
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Money\15.0\On line]
"FLogProviderData"=dword:00000001
================endProvlog6.reg=================== ====

With Money open, do Start-> Run of Provlog6.reg, or run it
in a command window. Then do your update in Money.

Then the same folder as your *.mny file, look for *RQ.txt
and*.RS.txt files. Examine the *RS.txt with Notepad or other editor.
See what is coming in.

If the info is pre-truncated, not much you can do with that bank.

If the info is there, go to
Banking-> AccountTools-> Categories&Payees-> Payees-> PreferredPayeeNames
which shows how downloaded names are translated into Payees.

Then click on GoToPayeeRulesManager. Excluded Payee Names
identifies words and phrases that should be ignored from the payee
field (e.g., check, deposit). Add "POS PURCHASE POS
PURCHASE TERMINAL" or whatever you want ignored.

I don't know if it will help otherwise, but it should cause Money to
not use that information to identify a payee.

Have you tried using the "Payees Rules Manager"?

Default Debit card trans. dl-ed from bank have merchant names truncated of

Hello,

I have an account with Bank of Hawaii which uses a fairly standard Metavante
online banking system, also used by American Savings Bank and other banks
whose online banking sites look identical (ibanking-services.com as your URL
anyone?). I want to use money to track my check card (debit card)
transactions and could it would be very helpful to know the name of the
merchant where the purchase was made along with the amount (as it shows up on
the web).

In Microsoft Money, all it shows in the register is "POS PURCHASE POS
PURCHASE TERMIN" on Bank of Hawaii's site it would be followed by AL
(naturally completing the word "terminal) and the name of the merchant, then
the time and some other information.

Is there any way to get Money to ignore the rubbish POS PURCHASE POS
PURCHASE TERMINAL part of each transaction, or otherwise stop it from
truncating off the most important part.

Anyone else having this problem?

I suspect it's probably a problem with Yodlee, the data aggregator Microsoft
partners with, but I'm thinking there might be some setting some where to let
me get around it. Very annoying. Quicken doesn't have this problem!

Thanks,
Ryan
