[moneydance] Synchronization Error 2000

Hello:
Years ago I used Quicken with my bill pay service at Wells Fargo. I stopped
because the account became a muddle. I went on to other things. Last night I
set up Moneydance with Wells Fargo. I was, at first, delighted to see that
my bill pay addresses all downloaded to Moneydance from WF. Delight soon
turned to horror.
As I proceeded with the bill paying process I realized that the payees were
from years ago. (I initially assumed that they had been brought in from Wells
Fargo's on-line bill paying service, which I have been using recently. That
was wrong.) I had to cancel some of the payments and start over. Here is
where the synchronization error began.
Example: I canceled my payments to American Family Insurance. (The account
numbers were the same as they had always been, but in the intervening years
American Family has changed its address.) I deleted the obsoleted American
Family payees that had been downloaded from Wells Fargo. Then I tried to
create new American Family payees.
It was at this point that I receive the synchronization error 2000. The
program, or Wells Fargo, will not take the new American Family payee. I
can't say which it might be.
In addition, when I look at the bill "on-line bill payment" dialog, there
appear to be some anomalies:
When the dialog opens, the entry in the payee column on canceled payments to
deleted payees is a string of digits; hitting the refresh button puts the
correct payee name in place. I presume the payee information is now coming
from Wells Fargo.
I called Wells Fargo and the canceled payments have been removed from their
server, as Moneydance commanded. What I need to know is how I can re-build
the payee data base that is shared between the Wells Fargo and Moneydance,
and in so doing, manage the synchronization error.
I guess I made a mess.

that this question is sufficiently technical to merit posting to this mailing
list.
Thanks for your help.
