Microsoft Money business checks can be created on computers running the Windows operating system as well as on PDAs running Microsoft Windows Mobile operating system. The MS Money business checks themselves can be bought online from the Microsoft website and from third-party check-printing companies at online stores.

The benefits of creating and printing your own Microsoft Money business checks include:

1. Helping create brand recognition for your company
2. Reducing the error factor that can be made in hand-written business checks
3. Automatically recording each check transaction
4. Microsoft Money business checks can be ordered with matching window envelopes, so you won't have to write out addresses by hand

Microsoft Money print business checks are easy to use; just read the tutorials

Read MS Money troubleshooting documentation to determine how or if the Microsoft Money check printing feature fits into your business needs.

I recommend: The Microsoft Money User's Guide has a step-by-step tutorial on Microsoft Money business check printing and how to use MS Money small business checks. Microsoft Help and Support offers a troubleshooting FAQ with extensive information on Microsoft Money business check printing and creation.

Find out about Microsoft and partnered software compatible with the MS Money business checks feature

There can be no greater compatibility to Microsoft Money business checks than other software products made by Microsoft and its partners.

I recommend: Microsoft Money-compatible business check software made by Microsoft includes Microsoft Dynamics (formerly Microsoft Business Solutions). Dynamics is geared to large and medium-sized companies that print a large number of their own payroll and business checks for Microsoft Money. Microsoft Checks made by DELUXE (a Microsoft subsidiary) is 100% compatible with Microsoft Money and Dynamics. Microsoft partner Intuit is the maker of Quicken, a finance management tool with a check creation feature that's closely compatible with Microsoft Money's check creation and printing features.

Find out about compatible MS Money business check printing products from third party companies

While there are a considerable number of compatible third-party business checks for Microsoft Money available, however, not all are 100% compatible with MS Money print business checks.

I recommend: Third-party developer Avanquest Software offers CheckSoft 2008 Home & Business, check creation software that claims compatibility with Microsoft Money and Quicken. Checks SuperStore has a money-back guarantee that their business checks are compatible with MS Money and Microsoft Office Accounting Professional Software products.
