256473 2004-08-01 12:24:00 C++ is a programing language. What version of Quickbooks is it (It's not Quicken) as I might be able to guide you through it. Any financial package takes a little bit of getting used to but Quickbooks is pretty easy once you understand it. You would be better off with Quickbooks rather than Access as it will do all your financials and you would probably have even a greater learning curve with Access. mikebartnz (21)
256474 2004-08-01 13:39:00 Hello Ted

Have a look at this http://www.scrambled-card.com/ it is a very comprehensive yet easy to use package.
you can download a fully functional 30 day trial to try out.

The programme was actually created by a NZ accountant, I have set it up on computers and it is a breeze to use.

Cost is around $140.00 NZ (varies as you now pay in US Dollars)

256475 2004-08-01 21:13:00 Alan,can I use this program and have my accountant import it to their system instead of them copying everything out of my cashbook? I'm asking you just in case they don't know the program!They of course would like to sell me MYOB,well I bought one once and soon resold it,at a loss ouch,'cause I couldn't understand half the stuff in it.They didn't teach those programs when I went to school in the 60's.As well I already have a work program (Smart Trade) for my invoicing,quotes.But that doesn't do GST,statements etc.Thanks.

256476 2004-08-01 22:14:00 Hello Neil,

InvoiceIT is fully compliant with Microsoft Office, so you can import your data very easily into Excel or Word, if you import into Excel you can then save the file as a CSV type, which I'm pretty sure nearly all of the accounting packages out there can import straight into their own data system.

Their web page has plenty of info and step by step tutorials that you can download.

Regards

256478 2004-08-02 03:01:00 Still nothing seen here that Excel cannot do, using the part number, description and price in a VLOOKUP table for the "database".

Entering the part number would instantly retrieve the other nominated fields. The limitation would be the number of items you could have in the database, being 64,000

But Mike, what is the Total Cost of Ownership :)

Actually I use SQL Ledger which is Open Source but am moving away from it for various reasons.

256481 2004-08-02 09:11:00 Didn't see it here, but you could try Cashbook Complete either on the PC World CD or @ http://www.acclaim.co.nz/ Cost for Invoices $240 so not bad, but i don't think it has exporting capabilities? MartynC (5610)
