why Print Checks sometime

Jack

Occasionally, after specifying a payment, I am "forced" to Print Checks. I have never printed checks through and I will never print checks through Quicken. Is there a setting somewhere that determines whether checks are printed through Quicken? Thanks

Windows: Quicken Classic latest release R63.21

And now that Quicken thinks that I will print checks, I am constantly reminded that I have checks to print. How do I get rid of those "unprinted checks"?

Jack

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I am OK for now and, hopefully, I will not encounter this issue again. If I do, I will check back in with the Community.

Thanks, again.

You have the word "Print" somewhere in at least one transaction's Check # or Reference # field. (The latter may be a hidden column in a credit card account.) Remove it.

Elaborate upon how you're recording those payments in Q and in what way you're "forced" to print checks.,

Might you be using CTRL-W (or, TOOLS, Write and Print checks) to record a manually written check?

Thanks, Rockie. I was unable to change the Check Number for 3 transactions to blank so I changed it to "no". That seemed to work.

But I'm still confused as to what is setting the Check Number to "Print" for some of my transactions and not for others. These are payments made from a bank where I make many transactions every month but only occasionally do I get one that thanks it should be printed.

Where, in Quicken, do these transactions originate from? A Scheduled Reminder? An entry in the Memorized Payee List? Either way, check the definitions for these transactions and make sure they don't specify "Print Check" when they should say "Payment".

Hi NotACPA,

I am simply specifying a Payee, Payment Amount, a Category and sometimes a Memo. By "forced", I mean there is an avatar next to the Account which redirects me to a Print Checks dialogue with no way to exit or "change my mind." I am not familiar with CTRL-W, so, unless I accidentally hit that while posting the payment, I am not using it.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Hi UKR,

I just reviewed all of my Memorized Payees and there are no "Chk" types, all are "dep", 'Spl" or "pmt". The payments that somehow got flagged to Print Checks are all "pmt".

Thanks

Drill down from the MPL to edit the individual entry. They always show "Pmt" in the MPL List view, but the entry's Transaction Type may show "Print Check" instead of "Payment".
