Can you please implement where the program will allow more than 3 characters for a company id when setting a company up?  Sometimes we run into the problem of having the same id for multiple companies & if you transfer them to Information Return System for W-2's & 1099's then they overwrite each other.  Why can't it be 6 like it is in the Information Return System?

AMEN to that! I have had that happen several times & spent no telling how long looking for something that wasn't even there anymore. I agree 100%...make the company ID longer.
