Money syncs with your bank. Your bank where you have your epay account
keeps the lists of your accounts and payees. Money only copies that
information into your computer and updates the bank with any changes you
make. Log on to your bank's website and try to change the payee's name
there. Chances are you cannot, which is why Money is giving you that error.

Are you sure that the bank's bill pay service doesn't keep a list of
your electronic payee's. I think most banks that offer that service do
(all that I've encountered any ways). Check closely after you enter
your online banking link on the bank's web site.

What syncs with the bank? Any payee to whom I have ever paid with e-pay
has the limit that its name can't be changed. These payees aren't always
banks; in fact I have only one bank set up in Money. There is no way
from the "other side" to change the name that I can see. The electronic
payees include my local gas & electric company as well as credit cards
that are not held at any bank in Money's list.

So that comment unfortunately doesn't help much.

Thanks though.

It syncs with the bank. You have to change it on the bank side.

Why not create a new payee named "Providian VISA" and start using it for all
future payments. I have resorted to that on a few in the past. There are
ways of making electronic payee name changes but I found its not worth the
potential troubles. Making Money a quality product is not Microsoft's
current or future objective. There is just not enough $$ in Money for them.

I'm using Money Standard 2003, which seems to work pretty well overall.

I named a couple of payees poorly when I started -- I named one payee
Providian Visa Gold. Now it's a Plantium card; Providian upgraded the card
for me. The name is now confusing to me when I pay the bill.

Apparently if a payee has ever been paid electronically, it can't be
renamed.

Why in blazes not?

I suppose I will set up a new payee and remove the old one.

Is this limitation still present in current versions of MS Money?

Thanks.

Any idea why this limitation exists? Its purpose?
