Neal,
If you have auto complete ON, then your problem is different. I
found that auto complete was turned off on my Money 2007 even though it
was on in my Money 2006.

Autocomplete is on. It should be on, correct?

Tab simply moves between the fields available and doesn't have any
effect on the category on my end. When I press enter to enter the
transaction or use the mouse and press save the result is the same.

Chris Cowles got this right. Most of us had auto complete checked in
Money 2006. Well, 2007 settings didn't have it. Entering some
transactions today manually using my mouse, not the keyboard and the
categories weren't automatically showing up. Reviewed the settings in
the tools drop down and there it was. Easy to fix, but VERY frustrating
that Money does this to long time users. Steve

Neal,
Are you hitting Enter OR Tab after entering the payee? When I hit Tab,
it enters the category. When I hit Enter, it does not.

If that is the case, then you can change that behavior by putting a
check in the "Use Enter key to move between fields" in the Global
Settings. This is a user preference.

However, just clicking in the category field should be the same as
hitting the Tab key.

I didn't but I toggled it and it hasn't made a difference. Any more
ideas?

In 2007 (and 2006, to my recollection), try: Tools> Setting> Account Settings

Do you have ShowStandardizedPayeeNamesForWhichANameIsNotFound set in
your Tools-> Options/Settings-> OnlineServices ?

They aren't new payee's. That's the way I would have thought it would
have worked as well.

The same payee's which fill in the category automatically when
downloading from the bank do not do so when manually adding a
transaction. Any ideas?

If you are using a NEW payee you need to tell Money what category to
link the transaction to. On future transactions using that payee, Money
will automatically assign the category. Of course, you can always
change the category on the transaction if it doesn't apply. Steve

Default Category not automatically filling in when adding a transaction manually

Is it normal behavior to have to manually add the category when adding
a transaction manually?

If I let the transaction download from the bank it will add it
automatically but I'd like to put my transactions in as I go but not
have to go add the category, I'd like it to fill in automatically.

Thanks
