Checksoft Personal Deluxe

Since I dont trust the mail system to deliver a box of checks I print my own the checks. They work for most purposes but be warned if you use them at a store with a run down or old check scanner they tend not to read. I use hem to pay bills and have not had a check returned.

It is fairly easy to set up and use. Ive been using Checksoft for more than a decade. My only complaint is that the check registers default sort is descending by date, putting the most recent transactions on top, but the balance column adds from the top down. This means every time I open the program, I have to manually resort the register to order the transactions ascendingly by date to make the balance column make sense. This has been a pet peeve of mine with every version Ive used. It amazes me that the developer hasnt fixed this yet.

Worst experience Ive ever had trying to use, setup this program. 1st time in 30yrs of using and setting up computers, that I find this product dificult to understand, not user friendly, and trying to get support next to impossible. Its in the trash! BUYER BEWARE!

I recently upgraded to Windows 7 and needed a new check writing program to work with Quicken. I ordered Checksoft since VersaCheck was no longer available at reasonable price. The copy I received was version 13 which will NOT work with Quicken 2014. I can print checks through Checksoft (nowhere near as straight forward as it should be) but have to enter them into Quicken by hand.

Started out fine. The next day my computer tells me I cannot run this app on the computer. Loaded program but cannot even find it today. Waste of time and waste of money!

If you have the correct version, Checksoft works well. Ive been using it for years to print checks from Quicken in one pass. However when I upgraded to Quicken 2010, my old version of Checksoft wasnt compatible. Avanquest tech support told me I needed to buy the latest version. I went to an office supply store and purchased a new copy. NOWHERE on the box does it state which version it is! But it does say it will work with current and previous versions of Quicken, and to check with Avanquest for updates when newer versions of Quicken are released. They also have a 30 day money back guarantee. Heres the catch! After much emailing and finally telephone calls, I discovered that: The money back guarantee requires that you pay to ship the product back to Avanquest, and they will reimburse the purchase price, but not any sales taxes collected! 2. If they do agree that you are entitled to a Free update, you still need to pay $7.95 for shipping! Apparently you cant download an update, perhaps because most of what comes on the DVD is Clip-art! If you need this software, buy it directly from (gag) Avanquest. You will need to search their site for the cheaper Personal Deluxe Edition, as the only direct link is to the more expensive Home and Business version! Avanquest needs to put the version information on the OUTSIDE of the box! They also need to be clear about what an update will cost. I doubt I will ever buy any more software from Avanquest.

Really nice check righting software

It has some new an great changes and I like it.

CheckDesigner does not work consistently with MyCheckBook. Its been extremely frustrating to be able to print sometimes and not others.

Excellent
