    I have a client that would like to lock down the Starting Check Number field in AP Check Printing. I thought I could use Custom Office to lock the field, but I don't see that screen in Custom Office. I actually don't see any screen connected to Check Printing available. Am I missing something? Any ideas on how to do this?

    when I can't find a screen I always use the CTRL-F9 hotkey to locate it. if that does not open it then it is a screen that isn't available in custom office

    I tried CTRL-F9 to no avail. Seems strange that changes can't be made to this window. Just my luck!

    I don't think any of the form printing screens can be modified.

    Whenever I run into these types of situations I use the - ""well we can go to a developer to make this change - I anticipate the cost is going to start at about $2,500 but they'd have to tell us. Is there enough value in this to go further? "" About 85% of the time they say no. The other 14.9% they ask for a free quote and wonder why it's $2,500 them say it's too much money.

    Maybe there is a another solution. The problem is that my client doesn't use preprinted check forms. So, the AP person printed check #123 for $1000.00 (Pass #1). Then, before she updated the check register, she saw that there was a credit she should have taken. So, she went into Check Maintenance, picked up the credit and printed check #123 again for $950.00 (Pass #2). Problem is, besides reusing the check number, she updated Pass #2, but mailed Pass #1 to the vendor. Besides a company policy that can be ignored, is there a way to keep this from happening?

    What version of Sage??? Isn't there a role maintenance option that would prevent this???

    I think you might be remembering the role option to prevent clearing checks after they are printed.

    Thanks everyone. I suggested taking away the option to clear checks after they were printed for the AP user and leaving the option for the controller. At least that way there is some control.
