[misc.consumers] info on accounting software

Hi netlanders!

	My church has been looking for a right accounting software
program for their financial picture.  Basically they want to buy
one that will do

	(1)  	spreadsheet (ledger) functions:  there will be around
	     	100 accounts.  Those spreadsheets will be needed for
	     	weekely, monthly, quarterly, and annual financial 
	     	report.

	(2)  	Good payroll records that can keep track of
		FIT(federal income tax), FICA (social security),
		State Industrial Insurance, and all the expenses.
		All records will be used for monthly, quarterly, 
		yearly 	reports.

	They purchased "DR" program around 3 years ago and none of the
users were happy with it (poor documentation, let alone terrible user
support).  They bought it since someone told them it "would" work for
their needs.  In order not to repeat the same mistake, they would like
to hear more about your experience with this kind of accounting s/w in
your church.  Any comment will be appreciated.  Thanks.
