Just learnng 2010 Home and Business after many years of MS Money.

I've done the data import from Money into Quicken and it seems to be
quite accurate.

One thing I've run into is when I enter a transaction in the investment
transaction register, sometimes the payee is shown in the cash register
and sometimes not. The transaction itself always appears in the cash
register, on some the payee is empty.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Not really enough information to tell what might be happening.

I did a quick check in Q2010 RPM R8 and every transaction type I entered
in an investment account with a linked checking account (except for
"margin interest") passed the "payee" on to the linked checking account.
In most cases, it isn't really a "payee", but the "description" (which is
often the name of the involved security). I entered Buy, Sell, Dividend,
Return of capital, Bonds Bought, MiscInc and MiscExp transactions: all
showed the "payee" in the linked checking account.

One thing to consider: transfer transactions only send payee/memo info
when they are first entered. If you modify the payee, or memo in a
transfer, it will not change the other half of the transfer.
