Prints the Same Check Repeatedly

Problem

check printing prints same check over and over again, when trying to print checks in MacNail construction accounting software

Diagnosis

1. open the Accounting Blanks folder and look at the check blank they've been using. If it has person's name, amount etc on it, that's the culprit.
2. if not that and XL4 or XL5, it's probably a code change problem.
3. If using Accounting 3.3a, it's caused by a very old bug.

Solution

1. replace the check blank with the one from the original floppy (or if they've customized it, with a backup copy).
2. Replace Manager (see TA 411)
3. Make sure they do 3.3b or 3.4 update. 3.3a had a bug that could cause a macro error in a few cases. After the macro error, if they accidentally save the check blank, it will be screwed up as in #1

NOTE-- Goldenseal accounting software replaced MacNail in 2001. It stores all of your company info in a single file, and avoids the many problems that MacNail had, because of user-accessible files.
