Summary: VersaCheck 2003 Tries to Do More Than You May Need
Review: I purchased VersaCheck 2003 Home & Business after having it recommended as a way that I could print check drafts (checks that I can deposit based upon bank information sent to me by customers). To do this, one must begin a guessing game as to which menu option does what. When I finally get a blank check draft form on the screen and fill it out with the customer provided information, clicking NEXT simply generates a question asking if this is a new customer. Clicking YES presents more forms to fill out, duplicating everything previously entered into the draft form. When finished with this, the draft form is redisplayed but not with the information you just entered... forcing you to re-enter the data yet a third time! Each time I use the program I try to avoid this circular waste of time, but every time I fail. Each time I use the program, the previous customer's information partially fills the draft form (the bank code information) and it's nearly impossible to replace this with the correct information without going through the circular routine. I simply do not have the time to play this game. One of the other functions of this program that I thought I might use is the one where you can print your own checks (including some that may be used with other check writing programs such as Quicken, QuickBooks and Microsoft Money). I have tried this with the first two and found it rather difficult to set up but in the end, it worked quite well producing usable checks that I could run through my printer. Unfortunately, VersaCheck wants you to use itself for your accounting needs (check writing) and I found this "feature" very cumbersome to avoid because all the menu items (and icons) aim you in this direction.
