Kurt,
About your proposed SW/HW system for your clients. You said
"I would let them manually transfer what info they would like to have into BEST."
My suggestion is to talk to your clients first. Most people are extremely
unhappy having to rekey data into computer system. "You mean i have to do this
again!" It is always a good idea
to walk thru the proposed system with the users before real money is committed.
I donn't have BEST so donn't now about its data import/export ability.
As fallback, pretty slick accounting systems are done with Superbase Pro.
I have seen a couple at Seattle SLUG user group meetings.
By the way, LAN are pretty expensive solutions in search of problems. Except
for MACs, you can budget on ~$1000/station for a solid software/hardware network.
If you can justify using LAN, Superbase said they will have a LAN version out
around Feb.( don't know whether they mean the Amiga version). You can contact
them . ( By the way, join lobbying them against their newest folly for copy protection,
dongles for the run-time versions, this after dropping it for registered users).
Dan,
From your mention of Seattle I'm going to assume that you must be in my
neck of the woods.I live in Port Angeles, I have heard of a SB club in the
Puget Sound area.The only data the would have to re-key would be on no more
than 5-15 per day.It would be only an inventory number and the price they would
like to sell it for.I have heard that the newer SBpro supports the serial port
so I would just as soon use SB for the hole thing.I don't have it yet but I
have heard it is very nice.

Kurt,
Duke Lane of Precision has been answering questions over in Vendor for a week
or so now. You might leave your SuperBASE questions there in case he signs on.
Don't think he's quite decided where to 'settle in' here.
Betty
Thanks for the info Betty.
