Cheque Edit & Roman Numerals

[Nancy Palmquist]

Nelson,

Two edit tables are involved when you do edits, Global table (where the 
default filepro edits are stored), and Table Edits, ones you add to the 
file in question.

If my recollection is right it applies GLOBAL and then USER edits, 
making a USER edit over write a GLOBAL edits.  Since the Cheque edit has 
so many sub edits - my guess is you used one in your user edits for that 
particular file.

Check that out.  (Richard was nice and posted the global edits in his email)
