Okay, I need a little help, here making a convert. I'm *this* close to talking my business partner into converting all the office machines to Mac, but I'm not sure how QuickBooks Pro will work in a multi-user environment.
We need to have three workstations all accessing the same company files, for invoicing, quoting, payroll, etc.
Do I just buy three copies of QuckBooks, one for each machine, and point them all at the same data main file on the network?
Do they offer multiple-user discounts for the Mac?
Has anybody out there converted from Peachtree on Windows to Quickbooks on the Mac, and if so, how was your experience?

I love QB Pro for the Mac. In your case, I"m not sure. If you just need to use it from different machines at different times, it will probably work ok. But you can only use it on one machine at a time. If one Mac is using the data file, no other machine can use it. You'd have to quit QB on each machine whenever you needed to use it from another machine.

Even if I buy three licenses? This is a deal-killer. How can a bookkeeping app be considered "pro" if only one person can task the same company at the same time?
I'm off to Macworld for a bit. Thanks, Maflynn.

Okay, Quick Books is a no-go. It does not network on the Mac. Let us turn this discussion, now to MYOB Account Edge, which does have a 3-seat network version. Experiences, comments? Any former Peachtree-using PC folks now using MYOB on Mac OS X?
