SIA has five "books" (graphically represented as such): Purchases, Sales, General Ledger, Inventory, and Jobs. (The latter is the real service-specific function, which lets you associate inventory sales and all pertinent charges with a specific contract or job.) General Ledger includes accounts payable and receivable functions. The entire package, while it provides a full audit trail and standard double-entry bookkeeping functions, is based on performing as many functions automatically as possible; for instance, posting a check automatically posts the appropriate transactions against the indicated account against which the check is charged and the checking account. Last "lowball" price I noted (Creative Computers, I think) for SIA was $109.00. According to Sybiz (the publishers), the latest version contains some minor fixes (I think it's 1.0C, while mine is 1.B), but to what I wasn't told. I've *never* had any sort of problem with the package. Let me know if you have any other questions. Bob
