SUMMARY
=======
 
The payee may appear incorrectly in the Pay On-Line dialog box. This occurs
when there are multiple account numbers for the same
electronic pay on-line payee.
 
For example: A user with two American Express cards, one for business
and one for personal use, might have the cards listed as American
Express(business) and American Express(personal) in the Payee List. A
transaction posted to American Express(business) in the Account Book could
appear as American Express(personal) in the Pay On-Line dialog box.
 
Once a transaction has been sent for payment to Pay On-Line. The Pay
On-Line dialog box may return displaying the wrong account identifier
between parenthesis (). However, the account number shown will match
the correct account as entered in the Account Book. On-Line Services
ignores the textual identifier and uses the account number, so the
transaction will be processed correctly.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================

MONEY directory. This file is copied from On-Line Services the first
time a connection is made.
 
1. From the Lists menu, choose Payee List.
 
2. In the Payee List box, choose the Pay On-Line Info button.
 
3. In the Pay On-Line Info box, choose the Add On-Line Payees
   button.
 
4. Select the payee you want, and choose the Add button.
 
5. In the Pay On-Line Info box, choose the Close button.
 
6. In the Payee List box, select the payee.
 
7. With the Payee selected, choose the Rename button.
 
8. In the Rename Payee box, add information identifying the
   individual account between parenthesis (), either at the
   beginning or end of the payee's name. Then choose the OK button.
 
9. Repeat steps 1-8 for each additional account for the single
   payee.
 
We are researching this issue and will post new information here as it
becomes available.
