[pianotech] Quickbooks Payroll Rant

[William Truitt]

Hey Terry:  

I never have used scheduling software, I've played with it and keep going
back to my schedule book - it never crashes unless I leave it on top of the
car while distracted doing something else, then drive away.  A very long
time ago I built my own custom databases in Q and A, and then Lotus
Approach.  I've heard that QB has a database module, but I've also heard
that it is not as customizable as some of us would like.

You are asking for that Holy Grail of software, where all the programs talk
to each other where and when you want them to.  When you find that program,
let me know!!

Will and Others - Those of you who use Quicken or Quickbooks for your  
accounting - are you in any way able to incorporate your service  
scheduling and client records with those programs, or do you just  
enter client data twice - once for accounting software and once for  
scheduling software? Or am I missing something?

I've been using PTBiz for years, and while it works well in many  
areas, it is weak on the accounting end and I am aware that it is a  
dead program as the author no longer supports it.

Thanks for any insight.
