How to Remove "Duplicate" on Checks

From the Reports menu, select the Accounts Payable or Payroll. Then, open the folder with the check forms (i.e., Disbursement Checks or Payroll Checks), select the check form from the list (note:  just click once on the form).

1.      Select the Design button at the top of the Select a Report window to display the window where you can design checks.

In the Forms Design window you have several options available for modifying your forms. To the left of the Forms Design window (by default) are design tools. These assist in selecting and adding various types of form objects.

Note: In Peachtree First Accounting you can only modify font properties of form objects. The remaining tools listed below are available only in Peachtree Accounting and Peachtree Complete.

2.      Select the Options button at the top of the Forms Design window.  Un-mark the Sample Data box to see the names of the fields on the form. Select OK to return to the Forms Design window.

3.      To select an object, use the Selection tool. With your mouse pointer, you can drag and drop objects to move them around.


You can also right-click your mouse when selecting a form object to display object properties and format options.

Find the “Duplicate Checks Message” field and right-click on it.

Select Delete.

4.      Select Save. Enter a unique name for your form (i.e., ap checks with no duplicate) and an (optional) description. Then select OK.

5.      Select Close to return to the Select a Report window.
