It's not a big issue for me. I would maybe write 5 checks a year. I pay all of my bills by pre-authorized payment, credit card or direct payment from my bank's website.

I voted no, because I do not want a field for check numbers. I can see how it could be very useful to some, so I don't mind the feature being available so long as I can TURN IT OFF.

I seldom write checks so not important to me.

Only write one or two checks a year. I vote No ~ but I really don't care one way or the other. =)

I rarely write checks either; on the occasions where I do, I just use the memo field.

At first glance I thought the subject line was "Do you want an extra field for Chuck Norris?" Then I thought, maybe Jesse ought to or he could make him mad.

I can take or leave the check number field. I write checks infrequently and I don't pay attention to the numbers anyway. Internet bill pay has me spoiled. But, I wouldn't begrudge a check field for anyone else.

Better me than Chuck Norris and his round house kick.

Just a quick thought, I am currently evaluating YNAB as a replcement for Money 2005 (Windows 7 upgrade as you ask)

THe most important 'feature' missing for me is the Cheque (Sorry I'm English) Number field. In this age of Credit and Debit cards, I do not use this for the Cheque number but for the ID or Date of the Bank / Credit Card Statement that has been resolved. If this field could be added to the filters, it would provide an excellent way of reveiwing / checking past spend.

There will be a "Check" field in YNAB3. See it demonstrated 20 seconds into this video: http://screencast.com/t/ODkyNWVh

This is the Register (search, optional columns) video demo as shown on http://www.youneedabudget.com/ynab-3/

It's pretty rare that I write checks any more but when I do I like having the separate field for it. It makes it easier to find, plus that's what I'm used to.

telliott24: the solution that was decided on earlier is that the check # field will be optional. It won't be there unless you click on a button to show it.

It seems like the only way to do debit cards at the moment is through a "Checking" type account. Debit cards don't really have check numbers, which might be a bit counterintuitive. I suppose that if they were available, but able to be hidden for a certain account, that would be just fine.

EDIT: Whoops! Sorry, I missed the last post.
