Hi, When I go to print checks over the Signature Line it reads DUPLICATE.
Is there any reason for this? and how do I get it to go away?

Thank you in advance for any and all help.

I recently looked at the Aged Accounts Payable report and found 3 entries
of small amounts dated in 1998. I am sure they were paid since no one asked
the company for payments. How can I close these entries and keep the book
balanced ?

I had previously asked how to deal with uncollected accounts receiviable
items and received good advice from this group. Thanks to those who helped.
May be I can get some help again !

Hi Folks,

I’ve been using Peachtree since Peachtree III and am now upgrading to
classic (V12).
I am having a couple of issues.
The first is, when I go to "select invoices for payment", I
immediately get an error 6. This is only dealt with in the books if
the error happens while listing transactions, and I’ve followed the
instructions for that in hopes that would work…but it didn’t.
I found netpeach still on the hard drive, and when running from that,
the "select invoices for payment" works just fine.
Next issue is a printer issue. I have an okidata 590, and in draft
mode, it prints a billion miles an hour, but in LQ mode, it is slower
than a snail. The config screen won’t let me choose "Standard parallel
printer" like PDQ uses, which still prints fast. The config insists on
using a windows installed printer.
I’ve tried many configurations, but each time it still prints in very
slow LQ mode. Is there a printer configuration I can use that will
allow draft mode printing?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

Hello
I need a little help.
I am using Peachtree First Accounting.  I want to move the "memo" portion of
the check to a different position on the check.
We are using the AP 1 Stub.
Is that possible?
I see where you can change the font and font size, but I don’t seem to be
able to rearrange the fields?????
Any help on this is greatly appreciated!!

Is there a good book yet on PT 2002 Complete?

I plan on purchasing PT in a couple of weeks before I meet with my CPA who
recommended it.

With due respect, one would be most imprudent in opening a binary file
posted on Usenet in a non-binary newsgroup such as this one.  

A better method is to announce your file’s availability, then let
interested users contact you one on one.

Specific question for the experts:
Using Complete 7.0. When closing out the fiscal year, the long closing
process chokes at about 90% with the following error messages:
20054  |I/O Error in variable length part of record in file
‘C:\PEACHW\Company Name…
20002  |I/O Error in file ‘C:\PEACHW\Company name\EVENTLOG.DAT’.  Error
Reading or…
20019  Unrecoverable error in file ‘C:\PEACHW\Company Name\EVENTLOG.DAT’.
Run Int…
Sorry about the cutoff messages, but errorlog.txt dosen’t record the whole
message, which is to run Integrity Check and re-index the file.  The fiscal
year posting then successfully concludes. This happens every year although
no other errors occur all year long. Obviously the file needs to be
re-indexed, but it is not listed in the files that are available in the
Integrity Check re-indexing screen! Just for fun, last year I repaired the
company as I understand this reindexes all files. But of course this year it
happened again. Although this causes me no other problems all year long, I
have the Complete 2002 CD sitting here and I’m afraid what the upgrade will
do when it finds this corrupt file. Any ideas out there?

Thanks in advance,
Doug

I’m running 1280×1024 on my monitor. Peachtree appears to have two sizes
Normal (640×480) and Maximize (full screen) in the .ini file.

I don’t need the width, I’d just like to adjust the height.

Has anyone figured out if there’s a way to set the Peachtree screen size and
have it stay that size?

I’m having problems with the California Income tax formula. Specifically
(Single/Married Dual incomes) with 2 deductions.

Anyone in CA have this info – Hate to put out the bucks to Peachtree for
just one employee, & I could enter it manually from the tax rate booklet,
though it sure would be handy to have it automatically calculated.

Thanks in advance to anyone who would be so kind as to take the time to
supply this info.

Happy New Year.

PT V6.0

Backed up on 12/31/01
Purged old  and backed up also (separate)
Closed fiscal year 2000

Everything is fine except I do not have my reports for financial, income ,
past year, budgets, etc

Tried rebuilding sortjob.  Nothing
Tried swapping Report.dat. Nothing

The reports are there on Dec 31

Any thoughts as to which file they may be in or how to rebuild (best as we
have already added 2 days of sales)

Thanks
