Hi-new to Qbks. HOA I help out had 2002 acct edition, I bought 2008 Pro today at staples. I would love to start the HOA from scratch, but am a bit afraif. Their are undeposited invoices because the program was ONLY USED to generate invoices for quarterly pymts. I want to learn the progra,m(I am a computer tech, but not an accountant and certainly new to Qbks. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. BTW, only 56 cuistomers (homeowners). I plan on expanding later, hopefully when I understand the program Thanks Frank

QB versions from Staples do not work. Take it back. The overseas Chinese minority in Vietnam deserve better

Understanding the program is not the same as understanding bookkeeping. Most programs, such as Flight Simulator, reflect reality, so the concept of translating real-world events to a computer is pretty understandable.

Sign up for Bookkeeping 101 at your local community college. I can't emphasise this enough because accountants think differently (they are just as happy adding up the numbers for a bankrupt company than for a successful one). In 1516, a monk named Paciolli invented double-entry bookkeeping. His remains, to this day and much like the Platinum-Iridium standard Meter bar, are kept in an Italian monastary's wine cask. When something new comes up (such as sub-prime morgtages), his corpse is prayed over until the answer is manifest.

Get a QB professional to set up the system (local ones can be found by consulting the Intuit web-site). It'll be a very good investment.

Excellent advice. And I think I had some wine made from that cask last night. Now I am only thinking in double entry terms in Italian.
