Hello everyone! In case folks were having the same problem I did, I finally found the solution. The solution was provided on a different forum by "Diesel" who wrote the following in 2010. I also typed "20" as he did and it worked! The regular Customer Note entry will appear wherever you have positioned your Invoice Comment. OK, this answer was nearly impossible to find. This thread helped me the most but I hope I can simplify it further. Objective: You want to add an invoice comment somewhere on your invoice form other than displaying either before the line items or after (as is the default). OK, you can go to modify forms and go to "Add Data fields" and add "Invoice Comment" (found under Field Type Invoice Comment). So you add this data field and place it on your invoice where you want it to print and click save. Fine, great... But Then you go to print out the invoice and the comment still shows either before or after your line items. It doesn't print where you placed the data field for "Invoice Comment". Here's the solution: 1. Go back to modifying your invoice form. 2. Click on "Properties" button for the "Invoice Comment" data field (or double click on the field). 3. In the lower left hand corner of the window (under fonts), click on "Advanced" 4. Under "Other Options" you'll need to modify the number in the window for "Object Order" Now here is what I didn't understand: each object on the form has a number attached to it (or "object order"). I guess each object is designated in sequential order in which it was added. Anyway, what you need to do is lower this number. My number happened to be 70 which made it the last object on my form and therefore would always default to the default setting of being placed on the line items section. So I lowered it to 20 (randomly - you might have to play with this) and voila, when I printed the form, my Invoice Comment did indeed show up in the actual data field. Not necessary but if you download Paulas Invoice file in the post above mine it might make things more clear. Open the file, save it and then copy and pasting it in your forms file located under your "Company" folder which is in your "Peachtree" folder. When you scroll through your list of invoices, it will show up as "Invoice#3" in your invoice list. Click on modify so you can take a look at how each item is designated an object number. This is what helped me in the end. Hope this helps. Apparently Peachtree didn't think it was important enough to mention in their help index or on their website - go figure... BTW, I have Peachtree Complete Accounting 2008 (I don't believe this matters though... seems the feature has remained the same).
