I used to use Sage, but then switched to TAS, which I think is much more versatile (although it's owned by Sage, strangely enough)

Yes, it's Capital Gold, but I must admit, I like Sage Line 50 just as well.

If you guys need any help getting stuff in/out let me know, I used to work for Pegasus and be on the cap gold dev programme, Im currently on the sage developer programme so tend to do lots of data transfer stuff for the entire range of products (50/100/MMS/500)

Hello lads

Me dad said that if you're are familiar with book-keeping/accounts,SAGE is the standard

Then QuickBooks is good,but if book-keeping/accounts aren't you're thing

Kashflow is really good

midget, what version are you running? Later versions use Access so you can just get to the data using ADO/MDAC. Are you on the developer programme? If not let me know, apparently the MDB is password protected but if you phone Sage dev support they will tell you what the password is. If not I can phone em.
