TC> Appreciate your input,
     Isn't he going to have to buy separate checks for
each account?  Checks now have magnetic-ink numbers on
them and I doubt you can use the same checks for
different checking accounts.
     And why combine the four checking accounts into
one Quicken account, then try to keep them separate
with Classes or something?  I'd just keep separate
accounts in one file - just as I do my checking,
savings, 2 VISA, etc. accounts.
     I believe I'd hand write regular bank checks for
the accounts with only a few transactions.  Use Q's
printing for the account with many.  Commingling the
funds, even in the computer, is asking for trouble,
IMHO!
