Narrative:
Did not reset altimeters during climb through FL180. We were given several amendments to our next altitude assignments at approximately FL180, and we missed the changeover. We received a TCASII TA simultaneously with a query from ATC to check altitude. We had visually acquired other aircraft and were overtaking along same route. No evasive actions were necessary or taken.

Narrative: DID NOT RESET ALTIMETERS DURING CLB THROUGH FL180. WE WERE GIVEN SEVERAL AMENDMENTS TO OUR NEXT ALT ASSIGNMENTS AT APPROX FL180, AND WE MISSED THE CHANGEOVER. WE RECEIVED A TCASII TA SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH A QUERY FROM ATC TO CHK ALT. WE HAD VISUALLY ACQUIRED OTHER ACFT AND WERE OVERTAKING ALONG SAME RTE. NO EVASIVE ACTIONS WERE NECESSARY OR TAKEN.
