Weekly Dynamic: Automatically Click the Mekorma Check Copy Button

In Mekorma’s ubiquitous MICR product for Dynamics GP there is a grey Check Copy toggle button. Pressing this button prior to check printing prevents the window from closing to allow the creation of non-negotiable check copies for filing. The problem is that this button is off by default and users frequently forget to push it when creating checks. In some companies this is a big focus of check printing training.
A client recently pointed out the presence of a Dex.ini switch that defaults this button to pressed or “on” by default. The switch is:
CopySwitchDown=1
The only downside is that if all the users have been trained to push this button, pushing it again the option off. Still, it’s often easier to train people to stop doing something.
