blank payee/category for credit card

Deluxe. Try a discount store like Sam's. You'll find it's pretty cheap. If
you paid for MEss, get your money back if you can.

If the credit card info from the bank doesn't include details such as
payees, how could Money -- or any other program -- download it? Am I missing
something?

What I'm saying is that the quality of the data downloaded by FIs--as it
relates to filling in the data in a Money transaction--varies all over the
field. It's not at all unusual for a given FI to have a different
level/quality of data for, say, checking, vs. Visa. What I'm also saying is
that MEss assumes that you really, really, want the data exactly the way the
bank downloads it. Microsoft thinks this is **essentially** exactly the way
an MEss user wants things.

Money Deluxe and above provide more user control. They do not improve on the
quality of the data downloaded by the FI.

Perhaps any of the True Believers in this downloaded transaction stuff can
improve this answer or will disagree with it. I don't download transaction
data, in part because I see way too many reports that the data coming down,
beyond amount and maybe date, is incomplete, incorrect, not applied to
correct fields, etc.

Thanks for your response but please explain. My checking accnts have the
description for each transaction but my credit card don't. Are you saying
this is intended behavior for MS Money Essentials? Is this documented
anywhere?

If so, what version would I need to use?

With MEss that's pretty much all you do see.

Newbie questions. Please help???

I've just installed Money Essentials and downloaded the data for my bank
accounts. All the entries are correct. However, for my credit card the
payee/category field is almost always blank. The only time I see an entry
with the payee field filled in is when I made a payment or got are refund.

Any ideas? How do I debug this, is there a way to see what my bank supplied
to Money in the download?
