Thanks for the update Philip !
I didn't realize they were still actively supporting Pro - VFP 9 eh ? !
Shows that a good package just won't die ... kinda like The Fox !! :-)
Dabbled in the Pro Series when introduced - needed a LOT of work
in those days ... decided not to go that route...
The great thing about Accountix is that there's NO problem
running it on Linux -- there are <LEGAL> FP 2.6 Runtimes readily
(free) available ... (They also exist for DOS, Mac, & WinDoze ...)
Yes - it's old 2.6 FoxPro, and the screens aren't too flashy, but
it does the job ! Many of our clients could have cared less about
'latest & greatest' - they just wanted to run their businesses,
so we adopted VisionPoint/Accountix to Canadian taxes &
laws, and ran with it.
