Peachtree Complete Accounting 2003 (Multi-User Value Pack)

Summary: 2003 Multi User FLAWs - No Web Support Answers
Review: Beware, both the 2002 and 2003 multi-user packages have a significant flaw(s) that are extremely frustrating.

Peachtree has a problem in that it will automatically duplicate PO / Invoice / Sales Order numbers without warning. It has no system to protect against the duplication. The objective is automation, not having to select numbers from a paper log.

If you try to run multiple workstations on a SOHO wireless network, expect major problems. You wil probably experience table locks that require constant reboot. We had to move from wireless to wired LAN - using the same router. Also had to purchase new LAN NIC cards. Problem fixed. The wireless network performed flawlessly for Peer to Peer and Internet access.

Overall the system has some merits, but the goal of Peachtree is to maximize revenue from support calls. Don't expect to find any relevant information on the Peachtree website. You will find more on USENET Newsgroups.

Since we switched from QuickBooks to Peachtree, recommend that those in need research other systems. Our only reason for switching fromQB was to have assembly capabilities. The new version of QB now has that feature.
