Alright Andy,

I'm working WITH an accounting system right now and programming a 3rd party
module to work with it.

Accounting systems suck. if your not an accountant/programmer, I don't
really recommend this one. Mainly, because so many different companies have
there own ideas how they want there GL set up.

Not only that but you have so many industries your working with, and how do
you compenstate for that. I work in manufacturing, and we require to set up
kitting /assembly systems to work with our GL's, and its just a pain.

So, my advice is, really know what your looking for in an accounting system,
I'll give you some to look at. I'm programming with AccountMate 6.0 SQL
right now (SUCKS). Like 250 tables or something like that in the database
with even more SP's... I highly recommend QuickBooks for entry level
accounting because of the QBAPI/QBXML which is a really great way to start
learning how accounting systems work. You can also go with any MSBS
(Microsoft Business Solutions) such as Solomon or Great Plains, which we are
hopefully switching over to this year for our GL and hopefully MRP.

Plus, AR and AP are simple accounts within your General Ledger. =)

Understand, I'm not trying to be mean about this at all, just a good
starting point. So I'm gonna ask you, do you have any accounting experience
yet? What don't you like about other packages? What do you like about
other packages? This is a good starting point, let me know if I can help
out some more.

I am a system analyst. We have a text mode computer system.
I have less experience in accounting, so I am looking for a book to study.

Good call Cor.

and as for you Andy, if you want to learn more about accounting systems,
like I said, you can jump in with a simple one, or pick up books like
"Principles of Financial Accounting" and "Priniciple s of Managerial
Accounting"

They will both be pretty big textbooks (probably 500-700 pages each) but
then maybe you can get a grasp on the type of accounting system you want to
build.

Also always remember, it all comes down to your GL and everything MUST
balance. So, focus on your GL and how you want to do your chart of
accounts, but you got a lot of info to look at.

Good luck,
CJ

I have experience for designing and coding over 10 years. The systems
include shipping, forwarding, insurance agency, container yard ...

I have readed about "Accounting Principles". I have been coded
accounting programs, but never design account system.

My experience are base on mini computer, host mode and text mode
programming, I am learning DOTNET.

I only need a book for learning other experience about computerized
accounting via VB.NET.
REGARDS.

Andy,

Just a thought if I could.

I am the CIO of a large automotive group. I have a bachlors in
Accounting and have years doing accounting and writting accounting
reports.

Peachtree is written using a Pervasive database. If you purchase
Pervasive for Workgroups ($25.00) and install it on different PC than
Peachtree is on, you can look at how Peachtree does things.

I don't agree with some of the ways they do things, but it would give
you a good start.

Combine that with some basic accounting books and principals.

Good luck, you are headed down a long road. I am currently looking at
one of the ASP.NET solutions to add to an application we are working
on.
