Why is bill pay reusing a check number?

Michael Rosen

I am entering a check pay and I get this duplicate check number pop up.

So, I am going to the register (I'll never understand why the check writing screen disappeared and couldn't have been used for this) and selecting PayNow in the Check # field, selecting the payee (Check Pay) and clicking Pay.

There is nowhere to even specify a desired check number. It's supposed to be generated automatically.

Click Pay Now and there is still no indication of a check number.

Only when I preview the check can I see that it is using check 90113, a check that has already been used.

I'm on Quicken Classic Premier, vR68.28, Build 27.1.68.28 on Windows 11.

Thanks.

That was really strange. I said yes this time, then cancelled the duplicate check #90113.

When I tried again, this time it selected 90114.
