13450	2001-06-01 00:38:00	Is there a windows program out there that caters specifically for shearing contractors? I would like one that can handle a varying pay roll of up to 100 employees. I would like to input tallies and hours into a job sheet on a daily basis, and at the completion of the job have all the relevant information posted simultaneously to the payroll AND invoicing modules. Bearing in mind that we have 40 different categories and rates of pay for the staff and 80 different charge out rates for those same categories! Also - my OS is soon to be Windows ME - do business apps run ok on ME or should I be looking at running a dual OS (is it possible to have both Windows ME and say, for example,Windows 2000 on the same computer and switch to whichever one you need at bootup time?) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Cheers Lynne Hawkins	Guest (0)

MYOB is a cheap package that will offer this functionality, though I don't gaurantee it will scale to support this configuration. I'm sure someone else more familier with financial systems will be able to recommend an appropriate package. I would not recommend Windows 9x/ME as the OS for this role, I'd suggest Windows 2000 or NT4. Either of these operating systems will provide greater stability over long periods of time, and will also offer more adequate security for this data. Dual boot is posible, but I suggest you get a dedicated PC.	Guest (0)

There are business packages such as MYOB and NZ Gold, but I think Quickbooks is a better package for your needs. 2. While Win2000 or NT will give better computer security than Win9x (due to its ability to selectively enable and disable various functions and profiles), if you only need to secure your accounting package, then Quickbooks has the password and content access protection you require.
