I have a trash company called "AAA Recycling ......" Even though I have it
linked its transaction to a category about trash, Quicken 2008 sometimes
links it to my Auto category instead. Of course I correct it as I accept the
downloaded transaction but is there a way to permanently unlink it from the
faulty category assigned to it?
Thanks.
Jeff

They call themselves AAA because that puts them alphabetically near the
top. Good to catch people who look up recycling in the yellow pages.
Quicken thinks you are aiming at the American Automobile Asociation, I
think. Best advice I would have is to rename the recyc ling company in
your Quicken to "Recycling AAA". Quicken then should not have a problem
remembering.

YMMV!

I also have the same company. Since I have them set up as a scheduled
transaction the category is automatic. I also have an heating and AC repair
company with similar name. I entered them as a memorized payment and have
had not further attempts by Quicken to assign the auto category.

I did have the one time problem when AAA recycling changed its name this
year.

To answer your question, either make it a memorized transaction or a
scheduled transaction and it will resolve your issue.

Maybe AAArecycling would work and be closeer to the true name ?

I think the AAA start of the file name confused it, but try and see.

Have you checked the entries in the Memorized Payee list? This type of
problem can be caused by incorrect information in this list. I scrub this
list periodically and delete the extra entries.

Will do.

Thank you all.
