Passware kit (lostpassword.com) cracks and replaces it in mere seconds.

Crack them with what? Advanced Intuit Password Recovery?

I can crack the password in mere minutes.

Time will tell if Longhorn will or if a program still built for Win9x will still force us to make risk choices.

I'll have to check.

I think the Enterprise Solutions SW has a different database format - so if all you really want to do is work on some client files after dinner and prep them to go back to the client, the laptop solution may be the way to go (or RWW into the office and run it on your desktop). Have you checked the Sleeter Group for some ideas on this? They seem to have their hands in many pies on QB.

That having been said, I've been impressed with QB and some of its newer features - the analysis software (ProfitCents) is interesting, and the budgeting tool isn't half bad. The passwords actually take some work to crack, and it seems to do a decent job of bookkeeping for the owner-managed business. It plus the owner is a better bookkeeper than the setup many of my clients have right now with more expensive and less accountant-friendly software.

The MS Small Business Accounting is interesting - just haven't had time to play with it like I would like to have.

Either way, what I'm reading about Longhorn's faux-admin status may take care of some of these issues - but I guess we'll have to wait and see.
