All help appreciated, even vendors... well, supportnet's still around. they were bought by gates arrow last year, but we still use them. we have accounting, but it's old, and we really need to upgrade it. it also came from the old days, and it still works, but it's not glitzy like peachtree or quickbooks. when you say 30 to 100 employees, do you mean users? para research is still around, and had a cheap solution about a year ago. but i have no idea how good their stuff is. nj
