When I enter a payee that I haven't paid before into an account
transaction (such as a credit card account), Money is now automatically
adding the payee to my list of payees. For example, if I enter payee
"Blah", Money is automatically adding "Blah" to the list of payees. It
used to ask me if I wanted to add the payee.

I'm using MS Money Plus Deluxe. I recently reinstalled Money, but am
using the same Money data file.

How can I get Money to ask me if I want to add the new payee instead of
Money adding the payee automatically?

Thanks,
Ted.

Try setting Tools|Options|Editing|Confirm new payees.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction regarding existence of
"Confirm new payees", Dick.

I didn't have Tools|Options|Editing|Confirm new payees.
But I did find it under Tools|Settings|Account settings (global)|Confirm
new payees.

Thanks again for getting me started down the road.

Regards,
Ted.

Unfortunately I don't think that helps with online downloads tho.
:-(

For downloads you may be helped by
Tools->Settings->OnlineServiceSettings->ShowStandardizedPayeeNames
It will cause you to match an existing payee that differ only by a
numbers or punctuation. Click MoreDetails to the right of the
setting for more information.

I'll have to update the FAQ. As soon as I posted, I started wondering if the
answer was current for M05 through M+. Anyway, hope that works for you.
There is the issue Cal notes re. downloaded payees.

The route I posted previously worked for me. I don't use online
downloads but if I decide to I'll take Cal's advice (thanks Cal!)
