AP batch total and no. of checks dont match errors

[dabrown]

Hi folks;
All of a sudden I,m starting to get a transaction number mismatch. The problem that comes up is for instance..
I have say 20 checks to print using cash invoice method,
when I try to print check 20 the message says number must be between 1 and 19. I have to delete entry no. 19 then re-enter the check, then it will allow me to print entry 20.
I do a data integrity check (before deleting the transaction) and a message comes up saying "APINTERR". Opening the file it says the following.

Manual check batch 8.
Fixed Batch total and/or number of entries do not match.

Manual check batch 8.
Fixed Number of checks to print and/or printed do not match.

the integrity check and repair doesn't help.
I've been using the program for 8 yrs. no problems.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Dale B.
