Financial gurus,

I am using a NT 3.51 system and will be upgrading to
NT 4.0 in a month or two. 

For my personal accounting I am using Quicken Deluxe and
I am happy with it.

For my wife's home business I am thinking of buying
Quickbooks Pro but I see some package deals in the local
stores. They have Quickbooks pro, business planner and
something else (may be business lawyer) for $249 
(I think I remember the price correctly). Anyways, is it
worth buying this entire package? Or is just quickbooks pro
enough. My wife has a web publishing business. We are 
very small :-( hope to be big someday :-) 

I have Quicken Deluxe 4.0 and I think 6.0 has been released.
Do I need to buy 6.0 if I am going to buy Quickbooks Pro?
I don't want to mix my home accounting with the business
accounting, they are entirely different accounts.

Does anyone have any mailorder coupons for Quickbooks pro :-) ?

Please send a copy of your response by email

thanks for your precious time,

Intuit provides no communication whatsoever between Quicken and
Quickbooks. So, it makes no difference which version of each you
use from a compatibility standpoint.

Be aware that ALL versions of Intuit software have, for years, been
ridden with problems at release. If you are using Quicken 4.0, you
should be using update F. I think Quicken 5.0 also went through 
Revision F. 

There are numerous bugs in Quicken 6.0, but as far as I know, no
fixes have been released at this point.

Take a look at the newsgroup:
	comp.os.ms-windows.apps.financial
to review the tribulations of Quicken owners.

I've been using Q'books ever since Intuit bought out Parson's and haven't had any problems with it.
The main difference between Quicken and Quickbooks is a few business type nodes in Quickbooks, i.e.
Accounts Payable, Accounts receivable, Invoicing, Payroll, etc.. I use Quickbooks for our personal
accounting as well. Just create a new set of books and call it "personal.qbw". It will be treated
totally separately.
