xfer between accounts question

[bob belanger]

   OK...

I think I understand what you are saying.

However.. using the number from my check makes no sense in the register 
for her checking account and will cause confusion when both checking 
accounts are using the same group of numbers.

I guess I am locked up in that " I only have one check #2430, if it 
shows up more than once I have made a mistake"  rathole
