After transaction download, prompted to rename stock each time
eichmat
I have a stock (TMO - Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) that I have both ESPP and non-ESPP shares of in different accounts.
A while back, I got prompted to change the name to "Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. Common Stock". At first I let Quicken do it but had to pull a backup as it blew up all of the past transactions so I renamed it manually.
Now EVERY time I accept transactions in either account, I get asked about the name even though it shows that the names are an exact match... When I answer "it's the same but I'll rename it" option, I get the the notice that my account and online balances match.
1) Is this a result of the ESPP?
2) Is it the result of a character length issue somewhere in code during that "DONE" action when accepting downloaded transactions?
3) Where does Quicken get the equity names? Does that come from the broker?

Hello
@eichmat
,
What you have described is indeed a puzzler.
Let's run a quick test to try to eliminate some possible causes - please go to Help > check for updates. (If an update to your software is available, please install the update.) Next, File > File Operations > Validate and repair. In the pop-up box, check Validate, then click on OK.
After the Validate and Repair functions completes, it will give you DATA_LOG - is there anything that needs your attention or is damaged?
In all other regards, both your computer and Quicken are working well, yes?
Can you give us a screen shot of your situation please?

Current version. I did the File Validation--nothing other than the standard notices regarding future transfers in to 401k accounts (paycheck entries for the next 30-days)... I do get a "duplicate category" pop-up during the validation, but nothing is logged in the file so I can't figure it out...
I still haven't had a download that involved an account with that security in it to grab that screenshot.
