Craig,
On GP 10, using modifier (optional module) you can set the check# field, on the Cash Receipts Transaction Entry form, to required by following the steps outlined below:
1) Launch the Cash Receipts Screen (CRS)
2) Within the CRS, click on the tools menu and then select "Modify Current Window"
3) Put the focus on the Check/Card Number textbox
4) While the Check/Card Number textbox has the focus, select the Object tab of the Properties window
5) Put your mouse focus on the Required Property, while it has the focus a combo box at the top of the properties form will appear or become enabled, the value is set to false, change that value to True
6) Now, go to the top file menu and select "Microsoft Dynamics GP", you will be prompted to Save your changes, click Save
7) Now, go to Tools-->Setup-->System-->Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports
8) Pick the ID and then set the Product Combo Box to "All Products" and the type to "Windows"
9) Open the Sales Node of the Tree View and then open the Cash Receipts Entry sub node
10) In the Cash Receipts Entry node, select the "(Modified)" form version and then click save
11) Relaunch the Cash Receipts Entry screen and the field should be required now.
* Your user id will need to have access to the Alternate/Modified Forms and Report ID that you selected in #8 above. You can check this by going to Tools-->Setup-->System-->User Security
* You will have to share the forms dictionary if you want others to have this field set to required. They will also have to have a user id that is linked to the Alternate/Modified Forms and Report ID that you selected in #8 above.
* You may need to close and reopen GP for the changes to take effect.
