I looked for a long time and could not find anything better than a basic
ledger. I was not able to Find a double-entry accounting package in Access
and had to resort to purchasing one.

Accounting systems need to be chosen with the help of your CPA, who'll need
to be able to help you support it and get data from it. That said, there are
several dozen Access based ones here:

The very popular Simply Accounting is JET (mdb file format) based. I believe
the actual application was written in VB, but the data part is in fact a
ms-access file. Documentation for all of the tables etc. is included with
the product. If you know ms-access well, then you can write some neat stuff
to open up the simply accounting data file, and grab data. However, I don't
believe it is very practical to insert data from ms-access into the
accounting system directly, as your knowledge of the table structures etc,
and adding of primary keys etc would take too much work.
However, the data is in ms-access format..and can be easily used. The other
day, a client of mine needed a list of "accounts" for a dropdown box. That
"list" of accounts was actually in simply accounting, and I just wrote some
code to "transfer" this data (list of accounts) from the Simply to my
application.
You can download and run the trial edition. (I am currently doing that
now...and like what I see).

There is also "Yes, I can run my business". This is ms-access based, and
source code is available.

There is also Traverse. This is ms-access based, and source code is
available.

Could you please tell me how to open a Simply Accounting data file in MS
Access? I am working on a project in Access to transfer data from Simply
Accounting. When I open a SDB file in Access I got the error as "You don't
have the neccessary permission to open the file..." Thanks in advance.
