Thankyou for your suggestions John, Anne and Ed. I do know that as he is a sole trader, a payroll feature is not required. However his computer skills are quite limited, and he is old so he doesnt (or 'can't' to use his own words) learn a new system. He had to be taught to use Quickbooks.
I will try using crossover office as Ed suggested. I will also demo Quasar and Cubit Accounting to him and see what he thinks. His system is crippled with what can only be a trojan or a virus I suppose. He has a firewall and Norton Antivirus and something still keeps messing with his internet connection so he is understandably quite frustrated. I hope to provide him with a linux alternative which he will find easier to use and perhaps tell his friends to try.
