Review #1

Don't waste your money

This book is really bad. First of all, it talks about things that may not even pertain to a version of Peachtree that you're using. For instance, it refers to the "Business Status Center" and talks a lot about it. But there is no "Business Status Center" in anything but Peachtree Complete and higher versions. It doesn't even state that though. I went through the whole book trying to set up a small company on it and I ended up doing much better paying for Peachtree Customer support. Don't waste your time and money!




Review #2

Essential reading for Peachtree Users

This book is essential for the average user of Peachtree Complete, and a quick basic reference for the accountants out there. The manual received with Peachtree Complete software, is poorly written and far from complete. The program which was recommended by our agency's accountant, is not very clear, especially for those not formally educated in accounting. Peachtree for Dummies was of tremendous assistance, MUCH more so than our accountant, the software's manual, on-line support and telephone support, combined.




Review #3

Peachtree for this Dummy

I have been a reluctant Peachtree user for the past 3 years mainly because I was introduced to the system as a user task by task as part of my increasing job duties rather than in a comprehensive way or through taking a user class. Consequently, I have had a difficult time figuring out what to do when problems arise or a new task is required. Then I got Peachtree for Dummies and my work-world changed. I'm able to accomplish tasks quicker, more efficiently and with an understanding of how the system integrates, one function effecting another. Using the book has also been invaluable in "problem solving" which has been a huge savings in time and energy. I had to refer to this book frequently over the past year as my bookkeeping tasks increased, and now that I'm more "up to speed" I still keep it handy and use it as needed. I bought a copy for our company headquarters which is located in another city and they're really pleased with the book as well.
