I have an accountant, but still need todo my part from the business' end. They don't invoice my clients. Quickbooks works very well, but keeps me stuck in Windows land. It's just as well saying I cannot drive a car cause I don't want to learn how to overhaul the engine, or I cannot be a system admin cause I don't want to learn how the electronics on the PC boards work.

I own and operate a small business (movie theatre). I do all of my accounting on a spreadsheet. Today I use Libreoffice, when I opened my theatre I used Microsoft Multiplan. I print out my revenue and expenses pages for my accountant at the end of the year and he's happy with that. When I need to generate an actual invoice (fairly rare as my theatre is almost entirely a cash business) I make it up with Libreoffice as well. I have an invoice template saved that I use for that purpose. -- Can we uninstall 2020 and install it again? This one has a virus. MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com
