There's more than one "sage" accountancy package. Compatibility is not likely unless Sage can export into some well defined format like the Quickbooks for example. Sage is a "proprietary" business and has successfully tied in most of the accountancy practices in the UK. ( Although we are working on that ;-) ) For single user, very small businesses try GnuCash: http://www.gnucash.org/ For larger organisations I'd go with something like OpenERP: http://www.openerp.com/ Al -- The Open Learning Centre http://www.theopenlearningcentre.com -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
