And while still at it, let me tell you another thing. If you are talking
about automatic debit from your bank account to pay bills (such as credit
card bills, utility bills, etc.), you will one day regret you ever let
anyone debit money from your bank account. Any dishonest person who get
their hands on your account number can withdraw all your money, and your
bank will not return it to you unless the police catch the criminal and
recover the money. If you've set up your bank account for auto-debit, any
withdrawal from your bank account is pre-authorized by you. And since its
pre-authorized by you, the bank will wash its hands off and you will be left
without your money. If you don't believe me, ask your banker.

Hi,

I have Microsoft Money 2003 Deluxe, and I've been using on-line Bill Pay for
over a year now. I don't seem to be able to resolve the following issue.
When I get a credit card statement, I first go to the respective credit card
account set in MS Money to balance the statement against the list of
downloaded transactions contained in the account register in MS Money. Once
I balance the statement, a dialog box pops up asking me if I would like to
pay this bill now or later. If I choose to pay this bill now, and select
E-pay, a box pops up, asking me to fill out necessary information for this
payee (such as name, address, phone number, and the account number). The
problem is that I already have this payee set in my Bills & Deposits section
of MS Money with all necessary information filled out. However, MS Money
doesn't seem to be able to match that payee with the payment that it's
trying to make. If after balancing the account I say "No" to the question
"Do you want to pay this bill now?", then I can go to the Bills & Deposits
section, select the respective recurrent bill from the credit card company,
enter the new amount, and just click on "OK". So, the Bill Pay does work,
but somehow payees set up in the Bills & Deposits section aren't recognized
as payees in the rest of MS Money.

When I look in the Payees section of MS Money, the on-line payees present
are only those whose information was filled out when answering "Yes" to the
question of whether or not I want to pay the bill right after balancing the
account. In other words, only those payees that were entered in the
"Withdrawal" or "Transfer" dialog boxes in the account register are showing
up among the payees in the Payees section of MS Money. Those payees that
were set up in the Bills and Deposits section of MS Money are not present
among the payees in the Payees section.

While being in the Bills & Deposits section, I can right click on the a
particular recurrent bill that I've set up, then click on "Go to Payee:
xxx", then click on the Change Details and Payment Options, and finally
chose my "Online Billing Details". The window that pops up is identical to
the window that is accessible from the Payees section (when right-clicking
on a Payee, selecting "Go to Details", then going to Change Details and
Payment Options, and finally choosing my "Online Billing Details".) So,
since the windows are identical, it appears that the information about both
types of payees is stored in the same place. Still, payees set up in the
Bills & Deposits section don't appear in the "Payee" section and aren't
accessible from the register when trying to pay the bill from there instead
of paying it from the Bills & Deposits section.

I would appreciate it if someone could tell me if it's possible to get
payees in the Bills & Deposits section to appear in the Payee section and if
it's possible to use payees from the Bills & Deposits section for Bill Pay
when entering the payment from the register.

Thanks,

Grey
