Multi-Page Printing Strategy?

[Bruce Pokras]

Scott,

My ChecksQuick check printing app has multiple data cards but only one printing card. The fields in the printing card are filled on the fly when the user prints their checks. I have no problem printing as many checks as I want with just one click. Download the app and see if it is doing what you are trying to do. If so, I will post my routine to the list.

Regards,
