This is a problem I've had with Quicken for as long as I can
remember. The capitalization of often-used payees becomes more and
more random with use. For instance, I use this payee quite often:

ACME COMPANY

To use it, I type ac, and Quicken fills in the rest. However, over
time the capitalization has become increasingly random, so it is now

AcmE COMpany

or something similar, even though I always have Quicken fill it in. I
can do a search, sort it by date, and see the capitalization changing
over time. It's done this since I started using Quicken in the late
1980s.

So I've decided to do a search and replace to make it Acme Company.
However, when I attempt to replace, Quicken fills the replace box with
AcmE COMpany regardless of the captitalization that I actually key.

Is there a way to do the replace and force the capitalization I want?
I've even tried replacing it with a completely different name, exiting
Quicken, restarting it, and replacing the new name, but it still
forces the bad capitalization.

Thanks!

Try deleting the payee from the Memorized Payee List.

Thanks, but I have no memorized payees. I use the QuickFill option to
fill in the payee names. Turning off QuickFill allows me to search
and replace the existing transactions with the proper capitalization,
but when I turn QuickFill back on, I still see only the incorrect
versions of the payees.

Peter - Your own example shows much of the problem:
if ACME is the desired and previously typed name
And you type ac
It will fill in acME and use that the next time.
A look at the drop down list will show you this if you have it activated.
I screw this up all the time but I know its me.
