[moneydance] payments not happening -- partial answer

[Ken Ganshirt]

Bill, I resemble that remark ... up to a point. I actually let a computer
program do most of my bill payments. But it's my credit union's online
bill pay feature. I tell it to make the payment. When it accepts the
transaction it gives me a reference number. When I download the
transactions I record the reference number in the text field when I accept
the transaction.

I've yet to have a problem with this approach and it beats printing or
writing checks, addressing envelopes, finding stamps, and making time to
mail them.
