The Information function lets you 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 list describes the functions available in
the Information Requester. The order of these functions
corresponds to the order they appear in the requester's
menu bar. You can select any function using either the
keyboard (shown as "Keyboard:") or mouse ("Mouse:").

----------------------------------------------------
The following list describes the input fields which hold
the checkbook's description. Most of this information
can be found either recorded on your checks, checkbook
register, or monthly bank statement. The input format of
each field is also given (shown as "FORMAT:").
Account Type
The type description of the account being defined.
For most checking accounts, the word "Checking" can
be entered into this field. By keeping it blank
the program can be used for savings and other
special types of bank accounts.
FORMAT: Any sequence of characters (maximum of 50).
Account Number
The bank issued account number.
FORMAT: Any sequence of characters (maximum of 50).
Account Holder
The bearer(s) of this account. This information
appears on the checks and bank statements.
FORMAT: Any sequence of characters (maximum of 50).
Bank Name
The name of the bank where this account was opened.
FORMAT: Any sequence of characters (maximum of 50).
Branch Name
The name of the bank branch office where this
account was opened.
FORMAT: Any sequence of characters (maximum of 50).
Branch Number
The branch office's branch number.
FORMAT: Any sequence of characters (maximum of 50).
Starting Check Number
The first check number used in this account.
Although this value can be modified, the checkbook
data may not be correct if this check number is
changed (after defining the checkbook). Once a
check has been entered, changing the Information
Requester's Starting Check Number will neither
change the first check's nor any other check's
number. This value is only used for the definition
process.
FORMAT: nnnnn (leading zeros not necessary)
a number between 1 and 99999.
Initial Deposit
The amount deposited into the account upon opening
the account. Changes made to this value at any
time automatically cause the program to recalculate
the checkbook balance and running balances.
To record separate checkbook files (for the same
account) as a direct resemblance of the account's
checkbook registers (the small books where
transactions are recorded), use this input field to
hold the balance forwarded from the previous
register. For the first checkbook register of an
account, this field would be the normal initial
deposit amount.
FORMAT: nnn,nnn.nn (commas not mandatory)
an amount between -999,999.99 and
999,999.99
Opened
The date this account was opened.
For multiple checkbook register files, this input
field would contain the date of the first
transaction in the new checkbook register.
FORMAT: MM/DD/YY or MM/DD/YYYY
any date between 1/1/0100 and 12/31/9999
(MM/DD/YY is equivalent to MM/DD/19YY)
SHORTCUTS: Enter 's' to use current system date.
Closed
The date this account was closed.
For multiple checkbook register files, this input
field would contain the date of the last
transaction in the current checkbook register.
FORMAT: MM/DD/YY or MM/DD/YYYY
any date between 'Opened' date and
12/31/9999
(MM/DD/YY is equivalent to MM/DD/19YY)
SHORTCUTS: Enter 's' to use current system date.
