I've been tinkering with gnucash, and the main limitation is that it doesn't support multiuser access.
Can anyone recommend an alternative open source accounting package with similar features (needs to support invoicing).
i haven't used it myself so can't recommend it personally but LedgerSMB seems to be the commonly recommended answer to questions like this. http://ledgersmb.org/ it's multi-user, web based, and used postgresql to store the data. LedgerSMB was forked from SQL Ledger way back in 2006 because important security issues were being ignored by the author of SQL Ledger....who responded to the fork by relicensing SQL Ledger with an anti-forking (ie. anti open source) clause in the next release, but quickly backed down and reverted to GPL 2.0 The wikipedia page is short and worth reading, and also has a useful table at the bottom of the page listing other accounting programs (incl. open source). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LedgerSMB you may also find this old thread on whirlpool interesting: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1474487 craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au>
