"Never auto-categorize" isn't working

whitakai

I don't want certain payees to be auto-categorized. I went to Tools>Memorized Payee List and checked "Never Auto Categorized" for the payees I don't want to be auto categorized. When I shut down Quicken and re-open, these checks are all gone and when I sync the accounts, they are being auto-categorized like I had never checked them. Any help would be appreciated.

Setting up an MPL entry the way I want it, with Payee Name, desired Category / Split and Memo Text as needed, then marking it "Lock and leave this Payee unchanged ..." has always worked for me. I have never used the "Never Autocategorize" feature.

BTW, what version, edition level and release of Quicken are you using?   US or Canadian version?
