That's what I was afraid of, that and the commercial accounting packages vendors have some pretty expensive lawyers and accountants on their payroll so that they don't make a mistake (the questions the software asks you, rules, etc). Not only would it be hard for an open source product, it would also be extremely expensive unless they could find lawyers and accountants willing to donate their time to the project. > > That said, I know of some people using SQL Ledger and Gnucash might work > for a small business. > > As for Commercial products, you probably want to look at AppGen's Product. > http://www.appgen.com > They even have a Canadian version.... Thanks :) I'm compiling Gnucash as I type this and I will throw SQL Ledger on my server here soon. I'll download the trial version of AppGen's MyBooks and see what I find out :) Thanks again, -- Trevor Lauder Web: http://www.thelauders.net E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Resume: http://www.thelauders.net/resume/ Gentoo Linux Powered "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex...
