This not a Quicken problem per se but looking to see if there's a Quicken solution. I'm guessing not but who knows... The Check Numbers on an Account have reached ten thousand (5 digits). The QFX d/l File has the <CHECKNUM> line with the last significant 4 digits only (<CHECKNUM>7 for 10007). I spoke with the Bank and they pointed out that it's a scan-line problem. The line on the check has 4 digits only. That is so - I never noticed - the next Check is 10011 but its scan-line has 0011. All of this prevents Qkn from "matching" during OSU... so that, for this Account, I'll have to Edit/Match manually from now on which, of course, I'm bound to screw up eventually. So, has anyone had to cross this bridge before and found a work-around? Yeah I know I could close the Account and open a new one but that seems extreme. I could drop OSU for the Account and d/l and patch the QFX file but that seems like it might be more work than the manual match. Looking for ideas or other practical suggestions. Thanks. Geo.

Salisbury Long Valley, NJ If you haven't actually written 10,000 checks in this account (or haven't done it anytime in the near past), order new checks with a lower starting number -- say 1,000.

Yes I guess I could do that - it would work. That a.r. purist in me had wanted to do nothing of course<g> The acct in question is our primary, joint household acct and its been in play for 30+ years. We've written the ten thousand plus checks but the 1st one in Qkn is in the seven thousand series so we could restart somewhat lower and not run into dups. Without looking I'm pretty sure I don't have the statements and cancelled checks on hand from before when I starting using Qkn ('96...). I guess I'll live with for a bit until I see how annoying it becomes and then decide upon a plan. Thanks for the (what should have been an obvious) plan - sometimes the forest gets in the way. Geo.

Quote: As I noted in my original post my next Check Number is 10,011 but 0011 (that's four digits) is what's encoded on the MICR scan-line. That's what I understood, but I wanted to double- (triple- ?) check. The printed check number in the upper right corner of your checks is irrelevant. You bank's computers only read the MICR line ... not the upper right corner. SO, a still easier remedy is to force Quicken ONE TIME to use the number that's actually on the MICR line ... and then, after that, use the "Next Chk Nbr" function as you're already doing. After you manually type in, for example, 0011, Q will remember that and automatically use 0012 as the next number. No new checks to order with this method. db Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor GSalisbury Guest Posted: Thu Jul 17, 2008 5:40 pm    Post subject: Re: Q06Dlx - Check Numbers >= 10,000?
