I have Quicken 2005 Delux and I want to disable the automatic check numbering when I enter a transaction in my checkbook. I have several auro pays that are deducted from my checkbook and giving them a check number messes up my checkbook when I have to enter a real check.
I tried deleting the check# and it messed up the check amounts.
I'm not totally sure I understand your problem.
I don't know of any automatic check numbering option in Quicken, and I can't imagine why clearing the check number field would affect the amount field.
But, if you have memorized a payee with a check number, Quicken will assume that subsequent *new* transactions for that payee are checks. You can avoid that by either deleting payee from the Memorized payee list permanently, or deleting the payee then memorizing the same payee without a check number. (And if that is your problem, you probably got it by automatically memorizing payees, an option you might want to turn off.)
For automatic payments, set the check number to 'EFT' (Electronic Funds Transfer.)
