The Information function allows you to edit the
checkbook definition. Most of this information can be
found on either the account's checks or bank statements.
If you were previously editing a checkbook and made any
changes to it, you are given the option to save those
changes before defining a new checkbook account.
----------------------------------------------------
The following lists the string gadgets which hold the
checkbook's description. Most of this information can
be found either recorded on your checks, checkbook
register, or monthly bank statement. Any input
requiring a certain format will be noted after the
description.
Account Type
The type of account being recorded. For
checkbooks, this is usually filled in with
"Checking". By leaving it up to the user to enter
an account type, you can use Checkbook Accountant
for Savings and other special types of bank
accounts.
Account Number
The bank issued account number.
Account Holder
The person or persons this account is bearer to.
This is usually the name(s) that appear on the
checks and bank statements.
Bank Name
The name of the bank where this account was opened.
Branch Name
The name of the bank branch office where this
account was opened.
Branch Number
The bank's number for this branch office.
Starting Check Number
The first check number used in this account.
Although this value can be modified, your checkbook
information will not be correct if you do change
it. This value is only used for the entry of the
first check into the account. Once a check has
been entered, changing this value will not change
that first check or any other check. It is only
used for recording purposes.
FORMAT: nnnnn
a number between 1 and 99999
Initial Deposit
The amount deposited into the account upon opening
of the account. Changes made to this value at any
time will automatically recalculate the checkbook
balance. If you want to record separate checkbook
files (for the same account) as a direct
resemblance of your own checkbook register (the
place where you record transactions), then this
amount can be the balance forwarded from the
previous register.
FORMAT: nnn,nnn.nn
an amount (formatted or not) between
DEFAULT ON ERROR: 0.00
Opened
The date this account was opened. For multiple
register files (see previous description), this
could be used to mark the date of the first
transaction in the current register.
FORMAT: MM/DD/YY or MM/DD/YYYY
any date between 1/1/0001 and 12/31/9999
(MM/DD/YY is equivalent to MM/DD/19YY)
Closed
The date of the last entered transaction to this
account. For multiple register files (see previous
two descriptions), this could be used to mark the
date of the last entered transaction in the current
register. This date must come after the Opened
date.
FORMAT: MM/DD/YY or MM/DD/YYYY
any date between 1/1/0001 and 12/31/9999
(MM/DD/YY is equivalent to MM/DD/19YY)
Choose OKAY to accept these values or CANCEL to ignore
any changes made to the checkbook information.
