SQL ledger is good, easy to install and customize - but requires a lot of customization for Australian purposes I had tried "DoubleTalk" ??? at some stage in the past - was written in Python by Tim O'Reilly (the son of the famous tech book company) Then I wrote my own - my wife liked it very much (for it's exterem simplicity), but I never spent the time to create an export routine in a format our accountant could understand, and we succumbed to the suggestion to use MYOB - every single person of my staff and especially my wife who do the main book keeping hate MYOB with zealous passion. Their shanmeless rip-off strategy was the final straw - so once again I am looking for alternatives. Maybe I just have to swallow the bitter pill and write (or outsource) an export function that allows our accountant's MYOB to import the data Or is somebody else familiar with the various financial data formats and keen to write such export function? I suspect MYOB only ever caught on because accountants recommend it - and they only recommend it because MYOB makes book keeping look so difficult that accountants are needed for it Horst _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk
