Unfortunately, we're stuck with it too.  In a vain effort to get what we need 
from it, we've bought upgrades, but all that really did was mean we're stuck 
with a bigger waste of money than we were in the first place.

Obviously whoever programmed this has no idea of what the word "statement" 
really means in accounting.  Just try to get a statement of a customer's 
account that has the information on it that the customer wants - what was 
purchased, when, and what payments have been made, when, and the total still 
remaining.  Why is that a mystery?  One would think that would be one of the 
most basic, easy to obtain, documents from a business accounting programme.  
Another thing it won't do is running invoices - the customer bought this a 
month ago, this last week, this today.  Why can you not put them all  on one 
invoice with a running total, showing applied payments with the tax broken 
out?
 FS> Worst purchase I have ever made.
I wouldn't go that far, but it's certainly not a programme I would recommend, 
or   *ever*  use again.  When we were audited, the tax assessor nearly cried 
when she saw what we were using.  "OH, no!  MYOB!" she said, which made me 
feel better to know it wasn't just me.  I made her a cup of tea and we sat 
and whined at one another before she tackled it.  She sees many different 
accounting programmes in her work and had no good things to say about MYOB at 
all.
