That solution does not work, and after paying 6 to 8 hundred dollars per seat for QB Desktop Premier for Manufacturing and Wholesale for 14 years now, we are ready to switch. Had enough! We made the suggestion for the ability to hide your bank balance in the check writing screen years ago, and nothing ever came of it. In small businesses vendors and service personnel sometimes end up behind your desk when there to get paid, and our current balance is none of their business. Many of these people are friend's and we are not going to discourage them from positioning to shake our hands or look at something unrelated in our offices. A "hide account balance on check writing screen" BOX in preferences seems like a pretty simple thing to do.
