: Dick: : : I have been writing checks out of Rbase for years using a laser : printer. I use a single check per page on 8.5 x 11 that includes two : perforated sections that you can format for any use. I use one : section as a duplicate of the check itself for reconciliation : purposes, the other could be used for detail for the vendor. I use : Product DLT103 from Deluxe with MICR code in place, but obviously, : you could use any check blank you want. I use the other two sections for detail lines (up to 15), which could be anything, but more commonly on AP checks, it is to pay multiple invoices from the same vendor, for example our lawn care people service 4 different locations and each location has its own associated Acct#, so each detail line for individual invoices is perfect .. : Check out (ICAP2(dwrd(CHECTOT ))) in an expression to enable the : written amount on the check. (CHECTOT is the column in Rbase holding : the check amount.) Checks are created using a form that links to : vendor information, and all the check data including the memo field, : is saved in a table for future reference or other use. : : S Johnson : : : : At 05:05 PM 6/4/2013, you wrote: : >Guys; : > : >We accept fax checks from our customers, and have for years. : >We currently use an outside program, and use our regular laser : >printer to print on commercially purchased 3 per page blank checks. : >It keeps customer data on file, and you just change the date, : >amount, check no and order no, then print. : > : >We now keep the customers check data in our database too, as : >sometimes they use more than 1 account, and we have screwed : >up more than once.
