This article was previously published under Q76652 SYMPTOMS After you print checks in Microsoft Money, you may discover
duplicate check numbers when there were no duplicates before printing the
checks. CAUSE When you set up Money to print checks, you enter the word
PRINT in the check number field to flag the checks for printing. However,
duplicate check numbers can be generated if you specify a check number to start
printing checks that contains a check number that is not flagged to be printed.
Example Let's say you enter checks 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, and 106
in the register. By changing the number in the NUM field to the word PRINT,
checks 102, 104, and 105 are selected to be printed, In addition,
you specify a starting number of 102 to begin printing checks. After the checks
are printed, Money replaces the PRINT notation in the check number with the
actual number of the check on which it was printed. This results in
the following register entries: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 103, 104 Explanation- Check 102 was to be printed, and it was the first # to be
printed.
- Check 104 was next to be printed, and it printed to check
103 (there was already a check 103, so there are now duplicate
103s).
- Check 105 was next to be printed, and it printed to check
104 (there was already a check 104 so there are now duplicate 104s).
WORKAROUND When you enter checks in the register, do not assign them
check numbers. Money will automatically assign them the correct numbers on
printing.
