Re: check writing

I have an implementation of this feature, and we have used code to construct the words. It works very nicely. One drawback is that this method does not take multi lingual applications into account. If that is a consideration for you, then putting the textual information in the database is a must. ---- original message from uunet!veritas.com!sacs250!randy@warlok ---- * * I have a user who wants to write checks or at least vouchers from * data that is stored in an Informix database.
