Custom Forms Do Not Function Correctly with Quickbooks 3

Last reviewed: August 27, 1996
Article ID: Q137924

The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.5 and 3.51 - Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.5 and 3.51

SYMPTOMS

The check printing feature of Quickbooks 3 for Windows does not print correctly on custom forms under Windows NT 3.5. When you try to print multiple checks it sends a form feed that causes the paper to advance past the custom forms printable areas. Quicken 3 for Windows only recognizes and uses the 8 1/2 x 11 inch form.

CAUSE

If you define a custom form, you then need to set this form as the job default. But the default form setting is not being used or is being reset to 8 1/2 x 11.

MORE INFORMATION

This problem is still under investigation. The problem does not occur if you print reports with Quicken 3. Quicken 3 will not return any errors when the problem does occur.
