I thought some of you might find this interesting.
About 3 weeks ago I installed MS Office Accounting 2008 on my system.
Two reasons - One, I was curious. Two, my partner in a small business
wanted an opinion as to it's fitness for our use since it was
recommended by our new accountant.
OK - well to make a long story short - today I was working through some
of the reports it offers and went to add a new vendor record. As part of
this ( in fact for all records basically ) you can attach any number of
files ( links ) to the record. I attached a couple of Writer files. Of
course you can then double click any of the attached links and it opens
the file.
It turns out that when the attachment is an OpenOffice.org file type (
tried odt, ods ) the application pops up a warning dialog box first:
"Opening this short curt may be harmful to your computer. If you are
unsure of its content choose NO.
Do you wish to open this file?"
Well - the nerve...
BUT - then I went into OO.o and saved the same file as a Word file
(.doc), and attached it to the record...double clicked the file name and
guess what:
"Opening this short curt may be harmful to your computer. If you are
unsure of its content choose NO.
Do you wish to open this file?"
hmmm - At least they are consistent.
