I also have a CPA do my taxes because it is impossible for me to keep up with it. Confessions of a Mad Man! Actually, I am encouraged by your comment re: having a CPA do your taxes despite your own background and expertise. I was feeling badly that I finally retained a CPA last year to do my taxes when things got far more complex when I put my SoCal house into rental service after 27 years of owning it and my kids finally having moved out after graduating from university. Worse yet, I actually had a colleague come over to do some simple hardware work (for pay, not for free) the other day as I can not do the things I could previously due to the pinched nerve issue I am contending with. I tried to do the work myself, and managed to pinch the same nerve again - ouch, big time ouch! I am not using to paying someone for doing what I am otherwise quite proficient at myself. But, since it was for my ftp Server that I use commercially for clients I had little choice, and I had a narrow time frame to get it back up with a replacement boot Hard Drive.

I have used Quicken for personal finances for years, and QuickBooks Pro for at least 6 years for business (I have some inventory, so only the Pro version will do for me). I never seriously considered using QuickBooks for both business and personal finances, but it actually makes sense to do so. I can not think of any good reason to not do so in fact.

RE: [NF] I've HAD IT WITH QUICKEN
Kevin, Yes, Turbocash is written in Delphi and versions up to last September can run when compiled with Kylix (The Linux fork of Delphi - which is no longer in production however). I have installed a couple of systems and they went in no problem with the addition of some bespoke code. The man modules are solid and well written but not completely embracing OOP as they mainly follow procedural programming lines but good nevertheless. Documentation and end user support is excellent from the forums but my main gripe was the number of updates which seem just too frequent for an accounting system even though the mvast majority of changes are either cosmetic or new features.

Re: [NF] I've HAD IT WITH QUICKEN
Dave, It looks like Delphi isn't going to be in production either. g That doesn't mean that Delphi or Turbocash won't be useful and productive for years into the future! I would think the main point of interest for developers on this forum is that their next accounting system is open enough that they could potentially extend the system, or access the data in such a way that they could create custom reports or make small enhancements. Via ODBC, I would think that the TurboCash data would be available to this extent. Thanks!

RE: [NF] I've HAD IT WITH QUICKEN
Kevin, Well Delphi and the other Borland developer products may well be acquired by outside interests as Borland themselves want to concentrate on other non developer tools but judging by the turbo range of products Delphi, C++, C# and Delphi for .NET which are free) http://www.turboexplorer.com/ it looks like they still have a future and are also aimed at the mass market - Like wot VFP should be!! BG However, if there is one thing that is worse than dealing with VFP data via ODBC, it is dealing with data controlled by the Borland BDE which I absolutely hate which is the only down side I found with it!

Re: [NF] I've HAD IT WITH QUICKEN
Steve -- why did you give up on it? I was fed up with their backhanded upgrade tactics. I've been upgrading every year since 98, and have noticed the software get worse in terms of bloat, relentless advertising stuck in your face, and in many ways I prefered the older versions ( the functionality seemed cleaner and easier to me ). When I hit version 2003 I decided I was done upgrading; I hadn't seen any compelling features to keep going. Then I found out how Quicken basically disables some of the most crucial features of their software after a certain time frame which coincides with them dropping support for the product. I think they call this the sunset period or something. I don't care if they drop phone support ( it's useless anyway ), but to disable features, is criminal. The most notable feature is the automatic downloading of credit card bank account information. It basically stopped working after this date (which was about 5 months ago I think). I was warned many many times by the software that it would stop, and that I *must* upgrade, and I was even sent numerous emails about it. I was and am still outraged at this tactic, so I decided instead of knuckling under, I would abandon them all together. So I did, but now I'm looking for a replacement, and I'm unsure what to go with ( I've heard some horror stories about MS Money ).. -Steve ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
