Im looking for a data base program that will do invoices and things but more so specifically do bonus etc. I know theres myob and etc but the program I need is a windows only app pretaining to the company I work for. It is like myob but does more. I can connect to my web center and automatically update my customres etc. Bonus like 32% 7% 6% 5% etc.

I'm kind of confused what you need. Why not use myob? if the program you need (and is provided by your company) is windows only then you need to use that program and not a substitute. Did you consider VPC, that will allow your mac run windows albeit slowly. Other then that, I'd suggest myob, or quickbooks.


One other piece of advice is to use a more descriptive title, you may garner more help when people read through the forums. I'm sure a lot of people just passed by this one because it says "program"

myob does not do bonus.
quick books does not do bonus eather.

In my company I get a % from all my employees as well and so on which myob and the other one does not do properly.

VPC was very slow.

I am currently using a p4 dell but I hate it.

It also alows me to give each item some value which = to my bonus for example

Item a is 40 bucks. I get a volume of 30 points.
Item b is 25 bucks. I get a volume of 20 points.
so on and so forth.

at 250 points I Get 4% of my volume at 10,000 points I get 34%.

and the more points I get the bigger my bonus All the way to 34%.

myob and quick books does not alow for that.

I think you should be using a spreadsheet or a database instead of, or in addition to, an accounting program. As you point out, they do perform some mutually exclusive tasks.

Thanks for your advice. I have been begging the company to make a osx version of the app.

SQL?!?!?
