AccPac Pro Series is not a 'shrink wrap' package. It's a source code package that is designed for a high level of customization. You don't buy a source code accounting package and pay a whole bunch extra unless you plan to do some custom development.

Nonetheless, out of the box, you can work with it. But I see your point about distinquishing it from classic shrink-wrapped software.

Do you also go to all the Paradox, Delphi, and Powerbuilder forums and tell them their time spent with those tools is worthless and the products are doomed? Or is it just VFP you have a problem with?
