QB Pro however gives you the whole box and dice with multi-user, including payroll if you have employees its handy. The software is very good in what it does and I can't see any competitors on the horizon. probably explains why MS have had several goes at aquiring it.

Short falls.
Well my biggest beef is the way it handles "items" or in real speak "your materials you are going to sell"
The seaching of your materials database really sucks. I developed a package for electrical/plumbing and building contractors about 10 years ago that kicks butt. It really worked well with a big database of say 120,000 items. You could search on manufacturer type, group type for example "power points" or you could search for a part number. Easy.

Thats my biggest beef with QB. Other than that it is a very nice piece of code.
