Is there a "timeout" that one can change somewhere?
But I even have that if I enter the same Payee several times the very
same day - as just happened when I entered 2 months worth of bills.
And shouldn't ALL payees be listed when I switch to the Payee list?

I have the feeling, that for some reason these entries arre not added to
the Payee list and Money probably just searches that list. If no
matching Payee is in there, then obviously it can not auto-complete the
name. So, the question is: why are these not added (or not shown, i.e
for some reason "hidden")?

Since I changed from the former Money version (MS Money 2005) to MS
Money Plus Deluxe I have a strange phenomenon:

Certain payees are not shown in the Payees-list (even though they appear
in dozens if not hundreds of payments as payees - e.g. my health
insurance company).
The annoying side effect of this is, that when I start typing the name,
it is NOT automatically completed - as it used to be. Instead I have to
type the *entire* name. Strange enough when I then hit enter, then the
amount and category of the last payment to that payee are found and
entered as defaults.

What could cause this weird effect? Is there a maximum length of the
list of payees that are memorized? Can one somehow fix this? It's most
annoying to have to type all these names in full all the time. After
all - this automatic name and entry-field completion was one of the
major reasons to go with such a program. Or else I could have remained
with some simple spread-sheet instead...
