Added a menu choice 'Open Template' to the File menu in the designer. This function provides a list the template specification files shipped with Payables. The templates can be opened, modified as needed and saved as a specification with your company database. The templates include 2 new CPA Standard 006 compliant check specification files: Sample Check CPA (AP$CPA01) for regular business cheques and Sample Check CPA Blank Date (AP$CPA02) for printing blank cheque stock (including the date convenience boxes). Both specifications are designed to match the Wellspring check stock available from Softrak Systems. These check specifications can also be modified or used as a starting point to design a specification to match your existing check stock. The sample data also includes these check specifications.

You'd use the CPA 02 specification for printing out a blank cheque (for someone to hand write if they didn't know the amount before a shopping expedition).
