David,
I can not print reports, now. New problem. I opened one of the .chk in
Wordpad and this is what printed out:
[Top]
Guid = 378e5740-a2d3-4678-be20-37d14d97b458
Title = Liberty(tm) Personal Checks US-Letter
Rotation = -90.0
Translation = 4;492
Show_Grid = false
Show_Boxes = false
[Check Items]
Type_1 = PAYEE
Coords_1 = 118.0;74.0
Type_2 = AMOUNT_WORDS
Coords_2 = 90.0;96.0
Type_3 = AMOUNT_NUMBER
Coords_3 = 415.0;74.0
Type_4 = DATE
Coords_4 = 323.0;43.0
Type_5 = NOTES
Coords_5 = 90.0;155.0
I did not make custom checks. I am using 2.6.21
Thanks for the help,
HB

I did not address the failure to print problem. That is probably not
related to the .chk files but something else. Can you print reorts?

HB,
Windows always calls *.chk files 'Recovered File Fragments'
If the files are in the 'C:\Program Files
(x86)\gnucash\share\gnucash\checks' directory they are not
fragments but the files that you want, at least for 2.6.x releases
of GnuCash in Windows. You can open them (carefully) with Wordpad
and see what they contain. If you made custom check printing
formats they may be somewhere else, I have not tried that.

Hi,
After using gnucash for several years I decided it was time to
upgrade
from 2 to 3 a few months ago. Bad decision. If it is not
broken don't
fix it. The upgrade went smoothly with no problem. Every
function worked
both old and new. Until I tried to print a check. At which
point nothing
happened with the printer. After a 2 or 3 minutes I got a warning
message that my check file was a fragment. I went into the
system to
verify that and found that all the .chk files were fragments.
I tried to
reload new files but they kept being replaced by the fragments.
Step 2: I went back gnucash 2 last stable version on line. It
reloaded
without a problem but still could not print checks. Same problem.
Step 3: Loaded gnucash 2 on a laptop that had never had it on
it before.
Then took a saved file from 3 months before the problem
happened and
loaded it. Once again everything went fine until I tried to
print. Then
was presented the same problem of .chk file fragments and not
being able
to replace them.
Step 4: Using the laptop as my test bed, I removed everything
gnucash
from the hard drive. Search the C drive for any thing left and
removed
it as the administrator. Then did a search for .chk and found
4 files
buried on the C drive - all fragments. I could delete them but
they
would come right back as soon as I restarted the computer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated - I am getting tired of
hand
writing all of my checks.
I am running Windows 10 on all of my computers and they are all
completely up to date.
Thanks,
HB
