Payee List - Quicken Basic 2002

[Robert Browne]

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to delete payees from the drop down
list in Quicken 2002.
I have quite a few that I won't use again and they take up unnecessary
space.
I've looked through the help areas, but can't find anything on that subject

It has occasionally been reported that some payees could not be
deleted from the drop down lists: no explanation has been found
that I know of.

But generally, payees come from two sources: the most common is
probably "Memorized Transactions", another source is the
"Address Book".

To eliminate "Memorized" payees:

Banking > Memorized Transactions > (select the payee) > Delete

To eliminate "Address Book" payees:

Finance > Address Book > (select the payee) > Delete

Alternatively, for an address book payee, you can "Edit"
(instead of "Delete") and uncheck "Quick Fill List".

Also, if you find that you do not need Memorized Transactions
that have not been used for a certain length of time, you can
have Quicken delete them automatically.

Transactions Not Used in Last nn Months", and replace my "nn"
with the number of months.
