I am actively passing on all suggestions and bugs to a QB group
that really wants them. PLEASE email me any you have.

Would you like a QuickBooks only moderated or unmoderated newsgroup?

It can be a public group or a private forum. There are many QuickBooks
posts in these newsgroups, according to a  www.dejanews.com interest
finder search:

+++++   alt.accounting
+++++   biz.comp.accounting
++—   alt.2600.warez
++—   comp.databases.ms-access
+—-   comp.os.ms-windows.apps.financial
+—-   alt.security.alarms
+—-   alt.binaries.cd.image.tools.d
+—-   alt.2600.crackz
+—-   borland.public.delphi.thirdparty-tools
+—-   misc.taxes.moderated
+—-   alt.2600
+—-   uk.business.accountancy
+—-   alt.computer.consultants
+—-   microsoft.public.win95.general.discussion
+—-   alt.windows98

More +’s indicate a higher confidence. There are also many QB posts in
the official www.quickbooks.com Excite forums, but they are rather slow
and hard to search. None other site I know has many QB posts.

This is not a call for volunteers, an effort to pick a forum name or an
official usenet call for a new newsgroup. It is simply an interested
person wanting to know what you think.

All of the information that Peachtree needs to do invoicing, accounts
payable, etc. is stored in an Access database.  Is there a way of
reading that information into Peachtree via a macro, software, or
something? Thanks!

I am in a situation where I need to install a payroll tax table up.  Seems I
can’t afford Peachtree’s tax service. Has anyone seen a faq or anything with
detailed instructions for doing this.  I have all the figures I need to put
it together, just not the procedure to do so.

Any help would be appreciated.   I’m in Texas.

I’ve been given a lovely task of recommending a replacement accounting
software package that will handle our business.  We are a service company
that bills per job number.  (Looking at the Time & Billing package.)  I’m
specifically wondering about the following:

1) Is Peachtree stable?  I don’t want GPFs or other "system errors" that
cause data corruption.  In the case of a problem, how good is PT in
recovering data?  Do records get lost if the program crashes?

2) How are the network functions?  Can our accounting staff of 5 networked
users work efficiently simultaneously?

3) Can PT handle large volumes of information?  We’ve got Pentium 200
workstations and high end P2 servers.  How do the data files look when a
company with $6 Million in revenue and 80 employees collect a year’s worth
of data?  I’m sure they are of considerable size.  My question is what’s a
good ballpark for estimating?  (I’d bet we’d benefit upgrading our 10BaseT
hubs to 100BaseT.)

4) How is customer support?  Can answers be found to problems that occur?

5) How would you rate the product for your application?  (Although I’m
interested in everyone’s comments, I’d be particularly interested in service
companies that are about 80+ employees or $5M+ in revenue or both.)

Many thanks in advance for your comments.  This is the only forum that I
know of that consists of "grass-roots" users that are usually most capable
of providing unbiased suggestions.

I’ve heard this term used to verify your Peachtree data several times while
reading this NG.  Could some one please share with me the procedure they use
to verify your data and maintain the integrity of data.  I do back up daily,
and of course do account reconciliation.

Second,  I am about to let the sales department (only 5 people at the
present)  to enter their own sales quotes and orders over our network.  From
other posts,  I’ve become more concerned with this integrity issue.  Any
points I need to watch out for?

Thanks

Thank you very much .
With best regards , Alex the First !:o)

I have just purchased Peachtree 6.0 Complete (T&B) and am entering in cost
codes for jobs … the problem I have is that I run out of room for the
description of the cost code.  Is there a way to change the number of
characters I am able to enter in the Cost Code Description or do I have to
find ways to abbreviate?

I’ve created a web page where products that support Peachtree Accounting can
be listed:

If you have a product or support service and would like to be added to this
page, please
email me the appropriate information and I will make it so.

Hi,

I’m running a copy of Quicken 5 and even thought I I have set the all the
various date options to DD/MM/YY every time I restart the programme the
register date defaults to MM/DD/YY.

Any help would be gratefully recieved.

Cheers,
