Thanks for the help

Money 2003 and Money 2004 do have it. It is aimed at the thing you
are trying to do.

No, I don't have that option. The closest I can see is "Replace downloaded
payee names with user-altered names when available". It is already checked
but I can't find anything in the Help about it

Thanks

Richard

Does Money 2002 have
Tools-> Options-> OnlineServices-> ShowStandardizedPayeeNames ?

I have always had this problem downloading transactions from my Bank. They
insist on downloading the transaction in the form:

COMPANY ABC 12345 where 12345 is the confirmation # for that month.
Of course the next month the confirmation # changes and Money can't match
the payee again.
e.g. COMPANY ABC 67890

I have talked to my bank many times and they insist that it is not their
problem and that they can't download the information as a separate field
anyway (what kind of programmers do they have? This seems like a very simple
matter, even if they have to include a new option on the download list so it
doesn't mess up older s/w)

Is there any way in Money to tell it to only look at the first n characters
of a specific name for matching purposes? e.g. Only match on the first 7
characters (this would have to change by payee of course)

Thanks
