That's awesome Bob. I never realized Quickbooks had a free version! It's got enough of their main features to make it worth using.

My wife's laptop came with it over 2 years ago but I never used it and I lost it when I had to replace her HDD.

Thanks for the link.

Just realize it takes a good 15 or 20 minutes to load.
Has great tutorials ,and I am just starting ,but can see the value.

Taking 2 hours to find $100 in draws inspired me to find it.

Microsoft also has a free Accounting package at http://www.ideawins.com/Express.aspx . BTW, no need to bash Microsoft, I'm just mentioning that they too have some good free stuff.

Looking at it I do see it takes up quite a bit of space.hmmm
Also I use OO rather than Excell,so I need to see if it can import OO calc.

[Dominic J. Maricic]

OO can export files as Excel (.xls) format so you shouldn't have any problem there.

Been playing around with it , and see I am going to be using it.
Just what I have been looking for.

I've been using it for a couple of years now. At tax time I just print out the quarterly report and drop it off at the accountants office. For the annual taxes I bring the annual summary with me and we make sure everything adds up or make adjustments to suite Uncle Sam. If she screws up she goes to court to explain her calculations.

[Bob Elliott]

yeah , this is great.
Now if only biz picks up.
Hit my first dead water of the year since just after the 4th.
