Office Accounting shouldn't suck

Office Accounting is the worst product I've seen Microsoft come out with in
years. It is impossible to use, as it requires a bunch of subscriptions. If I
paid for this product, I expect full benefits. Without the subscriptions,
it's impossible to use the software at all. Furthermore, none of the
functions advertised are there at all! I can't even FIND anything about
PayPal in the whole program. When I try finding them through Help, it just
directs me at some File-Edit-View-Tools menus that don't even exist! I got
some SQL errors halfway through trying to setup my company. When I actually
set it up it got stuck under the clients list. When it asked me for my info
it clearly said YOUR company, and it clearly put me into the clients list.
Really, this software was not ready for release. I never recieved any
instructions for installing the software, either... it was on a seperate disk
that I had to figure out to use myself. Oh, and you haven't even setup a
"Discussion Group" for Accounting-related questions. This product was clearly
not ready for release. My suggestion? Either completely redo it, or trash it.

Hi Bob,

The MS Office Accounting discussion group has been available for some time and is accessible through the link below. You may want
to post your comments there and include there more detail on the subscriptions, and if you're talking about the free Office
Accounting Express 2007 or the licensed Office Accounting Professional 2007 product.
