HELP! How do I change a check #

Hi Quickbooks Community,I'm grateful you exist!At my old company, we used MYOB which I set up and managed for many years. That's where I'm comfortable.The company I work for now asked me to set up Quickbook for the accounting system. Of course anytime we come from something we know like the back of our hands to something new, it can be a little confusing.So here's my question:I have set everything up now and started entering 2007 data. When I entered the first check, QB defaulted to check # 1 and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to change a check # to the one that what was actually on the handwritten check. There is no place on the check to click for that. No place in company settings to write it. And QB help is no help at all.I would so appreciate your help.In gratitude.

Hi, I hope I am able to shed some light on this for you.I do not use a Mac version but this should work...Try This: Open your checking account register, once open just click on or highlight the check # you want to change, enter your new # then hit 'RECORD' at bottom of page. QuickBooks will ask if you want to record the change, select yes.

More....
When you first enter the check into QuickBooks...
Click on the check #, change it to the # you want, enter your date, amount, etc Then 'Save"
I hand write all of our checks but they are entered into QB via Write Checks on the Home Page
