How many banks do you have defined in your AP? You cannot have more than this number of banks defined in Cashbook. Also, you cannot define more than one Cashbook bank against any AP bank.

This is what happens 'behind the scenes':

When the check # audit list in AP is cleared, the data file CBbb_CUR.ext is created. 'bb' is a Cashbook 2-character bank code. 'CUR' is the home currency code of the AP bank. 'ext' is your data extension. While this data file is being created, AP is searching Cashbook for a CB bank that is set up to coincide with the AP bank related to each check. When it finds the correct CB bank, it writes to that retrieval file. Because the Audit list could have checks for multiple AP banks, it's conceivable that multiple CBbb_CUR.ext files are being written to simultaneously.

How many CB banks do you have defined? If you have more than one, edit each one in turn and go to the Company Profile. On the Interface screen, note the AP bank that is selected. If you ever run across the same AP bank code for 2 or more CB banks, then this is set up incorrectly. Even if you have Cashbook banks created but not used, this is important to check.

Another thing to do is a file search for CB??_CUR.* via Windows Explorer or a DOS prompt in your data directory. Again, 'CUR' is your currency code (DOS or USD or whichever). It may be that due to incorrectly set-up Cashbook data, you will find one or more of these files, but for the wrong CB bank code, as determined by the 3rd and 4th characters of the file name. As long as you are careful (do data backups before attempting the following), you can rename the file to change the 3rd and 4th characters to the correct CB bank code. When you next open that CB data, you will get a message that checks are waiting to be retrieved.

This has been working fine ever since Cashbook 6.5 was released in 1997, as long as Csahbook data is set up correctly.

On another aside, GL6.0B is very old (probably at least 10 years or more), but regardless of the GL version, this will not influence how Cashbook retrieves AP checks.
