Check number changes itself

Weird problem.  Appropriate for a Monday.

The box office is entering a check payment.  The check number is 10 digits.  When they enter the number and then tab out of the field, the check number changes itself to a different 10 digit number.

Has anyone seen this before?

  • Levi,
    This is a known issue, I reported it about a year ago and this is the response I received from support:

    This is a well known issue.  The check_no column is a data type int field, which would hold a maximum of 10 characters.  However, if the actual value of the check number exceeds the max value for a data type int field, the check_no is saved with the max value allowable for such a field, which is 2147483647.  If you enter a number greater than 999999999 (9 digits), 2147483647 is saved in the database.  We suggest using a note to record the correct check number. 

  • Thanks Dale,

    Just what I needed to know :)
