Over the long term, the most successful way to print checks is by batch. Use a table or a temp table (if you don't need to persist the data between entry sessions) to accept the payable summary. Use a form to iterate through the rows to select for payment or hold for later. When selections are complete, select the max check number from your check register and then assign the check numbers to a check number field in your batch table via a cursor, incrementing by 1 on each row.
