Begging for AccPac 5.4 info

[SensualCealy]

Anyone have experience with AccPac 5.4?

Looking for anyone that may have a site or something that I could go on to, to take a look and practice with it.

I have a job interview on Thursday and they use that program.
Anyone have it that may let me borrow it? hehehehe!

I don't know. Never tried Simply Accounting. Quickbooks is a waste of time. It's not much more than a check book register.

Most of my experience is with Construction Accounting Software/Job Cost/Project Cost...that kind of thing, as well as straight general ledger work.

If you are a bookkeeper and understand about debits/credits and transaction classification, any accounting software is pretty easy to catch onto. ACCPAC is not all that much different than Peachtree. You put in your debits and credits...figure out what accounts they go in and the software keeps track for you. The thing that's different from Quickbooks is...you have to figure out what's an expense, an asset and liability, a revenue and so on.

My experience is that amost all Accounting Software are pretty much the same with the exception of Oricle which is more like the old IBM Inventory Contol and Availability Software that was junked back in the late 70's.

And that's Oracle. Which has a complete line of Business software that is server centric. Damn I sound like a commercial.
