Memorized Payee List is suddenly empty!

aratermann

As several others have mentioned, my Memorized Payee list is suddenly empty. When I memorize transactions' thanks actions (Control M) The list remains empty. What is weird is that some transactions still o auto-fill categories while others do not. They have a small rectangle symbol where the category should be. I suspect that there is another list or action that needs attention but I do not know where to look or how to fix this problem. Thanks.

Please take a look at the following and see if it helps resolve your issue.

Problem: Empty MPL List View or only a few entries show but File Information shows many MPL entries

Check the MPL view (Tools / Memorized Payee List). Click on Options and make sure that there is NO checkmark on "Show locked items only"

If you wish to Rebuild your MPL

After creating a backup of your Quicken data file …
To rebuild the Memorized Payee List from existing transactions, click Tools, hold down Shift and CTRL, then click Memorized Payee List.

I have made sure there is no check mark on show locked items only. I have run Tools, Shift + Control, Date Entry and QuickFill, and I still have a blank screen when I look at Tools, Memorized Payees List. I'm at a loss. Any other suggestions appreciated.

I assume that the above is just a typo and that you really have clicked on Tools, hold down Shift and CTRL, then click Memorized Payee List.

If that didn't work please do the following actions:
