 - They Lied!I just opened a consignment shop and needed the software to take care of retail as well as keeping track of what I owe my vendors. This software is about the worst I've seen. It is set up only for companies such as construction where you have big jobs. I need something I can easily put in daily sales, that can easily keep track of sales tax, and that can easily print out what I owe to my vendros twice a month. When I talked to their customer service before purchasing the product they said it was set up to do all this and yet it does none of it. I just talked to another rep and she said it wasn't a problem to have to go to each vendor and customerize the report I need, twice a month, for every vendor. Not a problem for her maybe but I have better things to do. This software is useless! Rating: - Avoid at all (high) costs!!I am a bookkeeper, so I have been using Quickbooks professionally (40 hours a week) since 2002. I have never known such a horrible piece of software. Don't expect to use it in a network environment (they have fixed something that wasn't broken here...the "Database Manager" does not work). They would rather sell you their $3000 "Enterprise" edition for a networked environment, so good luck getting support to help you set it up. Everything is slower, and the few new features they added do not ofset the hassle of having to work with this crud every day. What was once a great, easy to use product has over-commercialized and destroyed itself. I notice they have come out with 2008 now, with many of the features you would find in Microsoft's Accounting software...hmmmm.... Rating:  - Quicken 2008 reviewWhen trying to set up or do single step online update I keep getting errors and can find no explaination for them. They say reinstall and it fails to solve the problems. Rating:  - QuickBooks Pro 2007QuickBooks Pro 2007 Small Business Financial Software [OLDER VERSION] Very user friendly. Rating: - 3-Stars ??? Better Than It Was, HoweverOne would think by the time we were forced into upgrading to this version some of the simple things in life would have been provided. Not so. When will they figure out how to include the use of Ctrl+Alt R & C, etc? Simple request? One would think so. We have to include names of specific products in almost every quote, confirmation, and invoice yet I have to go to another application to first create, then copy, return to QB and paste the special characters for registered, trademark, copyright within these forms. Also, I find it odd that we cannot save and recover canned comments on a line by line basis. Yes, we can go to a completed form, use Ctrl + C and then return and use Ctrl + V to cut and paste, yet having the ability to save, store and bring these canned comments (not templates please . . .) would be extremely helpful. I do like the ease of moving around within the application better than our previous version. I dislike the lack of reasonably priced payroll options (3-people) when compared to the days of having the CD state specific tax table. A better version will come out sometime or else someone else will provide a better application. In the meanwhile, I'll keep using this somewhat cumbersome relic.
