Oh don't get me wrong, I don't WANT to use them! :)
If it doesn't use them, staff cant generate reports or post the
financial journals properly, as it kicks them out of the program after

Best thing is, they wont talk to us as we don't have a support
contract, although we've managed to ween out of them that we're not on
the latest version, even though we have a update maintenance contract

compatible", so we'll see what that uses when it comes..
