Hi Larry,

Thanks for the 'heads up'. I am leaning towards reinventing the wheel primarily because of the issues you set forward AND because I have already reinvented the wheel with A/R,A/P and G/L, all of which are tightly integrated with the clients operational modules.

There is nothing mysterious about Payroll, there is just the annual maintenance requirement of updating Tax Tables. As a former Payroll Manager in two prior careers, I am well aware of the operational requirements.

Thanks,

Ken
