>>Does anybody have any knowledge or experience with interfacing Foxpro with Peachtree accounting package? Actually, any feature-rich, Windows-based, simple-to-use, multi-user, CHEAP, and most importantly, Foxpro interfaceable off-the-shelf accounting package will do nicely. Yes, I know I'm asking a lot, especially with the word "CHEAP" in there.

>>I've tried to build a simple accounting package myself for my smaller clients that have special needs most off-the-shelf packages don't provide but found it too time-consuming to actually finish one. All of the customizable Foxpro-based accounting packages are too expensive, even w/o source for some very small clients that I have. Anyway, most don't need "100 page feature list package" and can get by with just the basics but always have one or two aspects of accounting they want to customize.

>>The reason I brought up Peachtree is that it fits all aspects of what I want except I don't know how hard it is to interface with a Foxpro-based application and data.

Mark,
I didn't mention before but they are currently using Quickbooks Pro with good results. Only one thing, it is not multi-user. The new version that I checked out looks very good. All the great features, simple to use, great interface, etc. but still not multi-user. I don't know why!?
John.
It's "my" world. You're just living in it.
