I have some good news and some bad news, regarding your questions about the Company/Vendor ID numbers and printing 1099 forms.

The good news is that Peresoft is going to look into using the %V11 code for printing the Vendor IC field onto 1099s. They told me this was only set up for checks, and probably should be for 1099s as well.

The bad news is that they will be unable to change the Company ID field to anything more than 6 characters. Due to the way the information is stored in the data, there is no room for movement in increasing the width of this field. In those places where you have to print a Company ID large than 6 characters (checks and/or 1099 forms), you will have to hard-code the ID onto the specification. At least you don't have to worry about 'changing it back' to the code later on.
