When I first noticed this, I thought it was a configuration error on my part.  Then once I started researching it, this problem is years old....What is even more comical is that this is an EASY thing to resolve that causes massive user frustration..  QB already contains the data, someone just has to alter the form in QB to print the check numbers in the proper space..  It's totally incompetent that this easy solution hasn't been addressed.... and users have been complaining about it for years!!!
