I've been working in QuickBooks since before there was a version number.  Recently started using this Accountant Batch Feature because I dont need a lot of notes at the bottom.  My QBES17 Accountant version is doing the same thing.  Out of nowhere it all of a sudden the preference to automatically recall is unmarked totally.  Put it back, works for awhile and then BAM, gone again.  And yes i do keep my QB updated.  I have over 100 clients, have to stay on top of things.  This is a new one to me.
