    Several people have been calling with the message "Invalid Bank Code" and are unable to proceed with check printing. They are attempting to print checks from a bank code that is not new so they know it can't be an invalid bank code. This is an erroneous error message and has nothing to do with an invalid bank code. The message is cause if the bank code is in use in the Bank Reconciliation module. Currently the only workaround is to make sure no one is in Bank Reconciliation module if you receive this message.
