   *I second the motion.... except go for QuickBooks Pro, much better, works great for estimating if you set it up right. I've been using QB for 6 years, it's the best package for the price anywhere, and easy to use.

   *Quickbooks Pro!!! MIGHT want to have an Excell spreadsheet for calculations not strictly accounting and that you want to link to the accounting package.

   *Hi John, Glad to hear you got it sorted out. Did you use those CSI codes for items? Anyone who thinks a 78 item CSI list would be useful for them, e-mail me and I'll send you a copy....

   *Take a look at SiteTrak (www.beacon-systems.com) for an easy to use, from a builders standpoint software that has better reports that are easier to access that QBPro. I'm switching because of the features they offer. Reviewed 1/99 in JLC by J Stoddard. He liked it. I'm not a salesman, just been looking for something better than what I had for my business. Custom building with some remodeling included. I think this is a good product.Michael Leistiko
