<p>It sounds like you are using Moneydance 2020.</p>
<p>There should be a few fixed items in the list. The Plus and minus signs at the bottom of the list allow you to add and delete items from the fixed list.</p>
<p>Double clicking on an item in the list allows you to change its name.</p></div>dwgtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/485775562020-08-26T08:59:34Z2020-08-26T09:09:43ZCan't edit list of items for check number column<div><p>I am not support staff, just a user.<br>

<p>dwg says there should be a few fixed items on the list. When I elect "edit list" at the bottom of the available items for the check number field no items are listed. Since none are listed, there is no way to eliminate items.</p>
<p>derekken23 lists new features related to the check number feature added to build 1925 (08/26/2020). The list of added features doesn't tell me how to edit the list of items available for insertion in the check number field. I want to eliminate items from the list, but when I elect "edit list" the field where items would be listed is empty. As it's empty, I can't edit it.</p></div>Eric Weirtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/485775562020-11-19T19:17:38Z2020-11-19T19:17:38ZCan't edit list of items for check number column<div><p>Are you using 2020 or later..?<br>
Try this.<br>
Goto Menu Tools Accounts, select the account, select edit<br>
Near the bottom select Check Numbers.<br>
- Select Default to use the global settings, or Account specific Then Edit<br>
A pop up list will appear of fixed items and you can add/del (+/-)<br>
You can also choose to include recent entries (or not).<br>
If the item you are looking for is not there, then it must be a remembered entry from a txn in your register..?</p></div>Stuart Beesley (Mr Toolbox)tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/485775562020-11-19T19:28:37Z2021-01-05T17:09:43ZCan't edit list of items for check number column<div><p>Thanks, Stuart. When I read your suggestion I was hopeful. A different route with a different result? Alas, same result. The field where the available items should be displayed is empty. I’ve attached a screenshot.</p></div>Eric Weirtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/485775562020-11-19T19:40:06Z2020-11-19T19:40:06ZCan't edit list of items for check number column<div><p>In that case you have transactions with the erroneous Check numbers on. You will need to go and correct/edit the actual transactions for them to disappear, or change the option above to Max Entries 0....?</p></div>Stuart Beesley (Mr Toolbox)tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/485775562020-11-19T19:48:37Z2020-11-19T19:48:37ZCan't edit list of items for check number column<div><p>If you do not want items to appear from already selected transactions just change Recent Entries to "Don't Include"</p>
<p>At the maximum there are only 6 pre-defined out of the box items:</p>
<p>CkCrd<br>
Dep<br>
Trn<br>
CashPt<br>
Print<br>
Next Chk No</p>
<p>The final two are driven by the two check boxes on the screen you are showing</p></div>dwgtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/485775562020-11-19T19:57:11Z2021-01-05T17:09:44ZCan't edit list of items for check number column<div><p>Thanks again, Stuart. I changed Max Entries to 0. That emptied the list. Then I added in what I wanted. Problem solved. I hope.</p></div>Eric Weirtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/485775562020-11-19T20:06:25Z2021-01-05T17:09:44ZCan't edit list of items for check number column<div><p>Thanks dwg. My list got cluttered with mistyped entries. I took Stuart’s suggestion and changed Max Entries to 0. I’m in the process of adding back items I want to have available. It appears changing “Recent Entries” to “Don’t Include” keeps the old mistyped entries from appearing.</p>
<p>I think the problem has been solved. I hope.</p>
<p>The problem was that I didn’t understand the logic of the edit window. I‘m getting the range of it now.</p></div>Eric Weir
