Check numbers

I am using version 10. I find that entering the first check number each time I print check checks is an error prone process. This leads to 2 questions:
1. Is there a way to get a warning if same check number is used twice?
2. Is there a way to get Power Church Plus to remember the last check number from one session and automatically suggest the next check number the next time checks are printed?

Thank you.

1. Not that I know of.

2. Not that I know of.

Note: If you print a batch of invoices, they are printed in alphabetical order by vendor, not in the order that you entered them.

What we do is before we load the printer, we make sure we get the first number off the check stock. Yes we do use pre-numbered stock for this and it works.

Then when we get ready to print, the system asks for the first number, and we use that number from the check stock.

You also need to make sure that the printer uses the checks in the order that they are loaded.

For instance, on most laser printers, you can just grab checks 1 to 10 and lay them down with check 1, face up, at the top.

However, because of the way some inkjet printers work, you have to insert the checks face down. So we have to grab the checks, put them face up in reverse order, with 1 at the bottom, and 10 at the top, then load them in the printer face down, so that the first check taken is check 1.
