4up W2 printing

[TheBigZ]

I remember seeing it mentioned about a problem relating to a counter when printing 4ups. I can't find the thread, but I know I saw it somewhere... maybe on the updater? Anyway, there still seems to be a problem.

I have a company with 10 employees. 2 sets of 2 employees have the same last name... for example, John Doe and Bill Doe, and Mary Jane and Nancy Jane. When I print 4ups and choose all employees, life gets interesting. Instead of getting a W2 for each person of the pairs, I get 2 pages that have Copy B & Copy C (the left side of the 4up) for John Doe, and both Copy 2's (the right side of the 4up) for Bill Doe. Same results for the Jane sisters. The same thing happens if I unselect All Employees and pick them by name with Start Record and Stop Record. In other words, if I choose John Doe as both the Start and Stop Record, it prints for both Doe's. BTW, is choosing by last name REALLY the best idea? Wouldn't choosing by SS # make way more sense, since that can't be the same for 2 or more employees?

I'm using version 11.0.5, which according to the updater is the latest version.

The solution is easy for that problem, we will take out the option to print the W2's by name order and change it to just use the Employee ID as those are unique.

As memory serves me, aren't you an accountant. You may want to look at W2Express which is an add-on for PayWindow that allows you to submit the W2's electronically, prints them on plain paper and much more such as editing and things. A single click in PayWindow creates a database with the company loaded in PayWindow for W2Express and then a second click opens up W2Express ready to use. See this link to the page in the help file:
