It might be something with your bank - mine very frequently have the
category. You might check under your payee names to see if you have anything
set up that might be a problem.

Hi all, I have just started using MS money for the first time, and im
stuck with something. I can download and import statements from my
bank and that seems to be working fine. What i want though is for
money to auto recognise entries. For example i assigned expednse in a
particular supermarket as groceries. I thought that in every instance
of that supermarket in my statement it would automatically be seen as
'groceries' category, but this doesnt seem to happen, i have to
manually add the category each time a transaction occurs with that
store. Likewise, when i add a monthly transaction as a bill, it
doesnt recognise further instances of that payment. So i get lots of
messages saying all my bills are overdue as the program doesnt seem to
reconise the same bill payed one month later.

Please help im sure theres something simple im doing wrong, but i cant
figure this out.
Thanks all
Nick
