I should have worded my message better.  Moneydance will use the  
current algorithm for finding the next check number based on the  
maximum of the last 10 checks entered in the last 180 days.  However,  
if there are no checks from the last 180 days, MD2010 will fall back  
to using the maximum check# in the register.
