As your data file grows, you can also archive older, closed transactions to reduce the size and regain lost performance. If you have a large data file, there are steps you can take to improve the performance of QuickBooks. Even at 10X that rate, you’re in good shape for a long, long time. A file that is growing by 3K each day will increase by under 1.2 Mb per year, so at that rate, you have a lot of years before you’ll challenge the current capabilities of QuickBooks. You also need to pay attention to the limits on list entries in QuickBooks. Intuit recommends that a QB Pro or Premier data file remain under 100 Mb in size, but many QB users comfortably operate data files that are 2 times that size and achieve reasonable performance. For a check in a foreign currency, QuickBooks will print the 3 letter currency abbreviation before this amount if you want a currency symbol to appear at the left margin of the check amount, you’ll have to order pre-printed checks with the symbol for the currency used by each bank account.ĭave, you are probably underestimating the amount that your data file is growing, but you’re over-reacting to it. For example, the normal QuickBooks voucher check prints the check amount to the right of the payee with a pre-printed currency symbol ($ for USD) at the left margin of the check amount. If your preprinted check for each foreign bank account matches the US check template, your checks denominated in a foreign currency will print fine. You can simply order checks for your foreign bank accounts that do match the US dollar check template. Note that the warning says that QuickBooks only supports printing on “US dollar check templates and other currencies may not match” that template.

There’s no obvious way to turn the warning off, so you’ll see it once each time you print checks from a foreign bank account.

To continue with the printing process, you’ll need to click Ok.

Each time you attempt to print checks in a currency other than the USD, QuickBooks will display the warning screen shown below. QuickBooks 2009 and Enterprise Solutions can print checks in currencies other than the US dollar (USD), with a few words of caution.
