During this time, SBA repeatedly hung, requiring shutdown from the Program Manager. After spending 10 hours downloading updates on a dial up connection, SBA hung up the computer so badly I had to shut down with the power switch. After removing the upgraded version, and re-installing the original SBA, I discovered that SBA had converted all my company data to an incompatible version. At this point, I trashed the CD in disgust, removed SBA, and spent the afternoon bringing my old version of Peachtree Complete back up to date. Save yourself this hassle, and don't buy SBA. It's cheap for a reason, but not cheap enough. Rating: 1 / 5 I purchased this application, and spent two weeks getting my business set up.

But it's a total disapointment, it's not user friendly in most of the cases, I had no idea how it worked. So I had to buy QuickBook Pro for $150 instead from Costco, therefore I end up pay more by choosing a wrong product in the begining (trying to be cheap too). I like Microsoft products in general, but this just doesn't cut it, it's a long way to go. I had little problem using Quickbook, maybe I've used Turbotax for years. Just my $0.02.

Hughes Thu, 05 Nov 2009 08:57:03 +0000 http://smallbusinessmarketingstrategy.org/microsoft-office-small-business-accounting-2006/#comment-35 I just hate the way MS offers a viable alternative that does not cut the mustard out of the starting gate. No wonder Gates has billions. He keeps the money for himself rather then plowing back into key launches of product with a perfect track record out the gate. <br /> <br />From the sounds of the comments here it is not worth my time to load this junk and deal with all the hastles possible. <br /> <br />So I will wait till this product gets the needed attention it deserves from MS.

Unfortunately, the postal service did not forward my package to my new address, therefore, I am unable to give a proper review of this item.

It is useless for anyone switching from another program. Forget it. Rating: 1 / 5 This is one of the worst thought out small business accounting packages because transactions cannot be imported.
