The payee list in the account register does not include all of my payees

When entering a transaction in Microsoft Money through the transaction form at the bottom of the account register window, the payee list only shows payees that have been used in the last 12 months. Ones that are older than that are not shown.

Although older payees are not shown, you can still type them in. When typing them in, Money should autocomplete the entry of them, if it finds a match.
