    can anyone recommend a good (cheapest!) accounts package to run a business doing the following:

    Computer Shop- Lots of cash sales, no credit
    Shop Sales on credit to business
    Repairs to computers/callouts to clients
    Capable of keeping a record of stock and not having to print an invoice for each customer, just a recepit will do.

    I've had a small look at sage instant accounts but it seems a bit too heavy for what i want plus we have litereally thousands of products that prices change of monthly/get replaced monthly.

    Exactly the same topic was covered in a thread quite recently, I'm sure you could find it in the archive.

    Lots of varying opinions, but I know we needed stock control etc and couldn't get it (or couldn't get a reasonably good stock control package anyway) on anything but the most expensive versions of what we were looking at. That coupled with the need for multi-currency led us to Sage Line 50 Financial Controller which cost a heap of cash but does what we want it to do.

    If you really do have that quantity of component stock items and they really do change on a monthly basis as you suggest then no accounts package is going to remove the administrative burden of you managing this price information. Your only hope might be if you have a limited number of suppliers you might be able to pursuade them to provide you with an updated price list each month in some sort of fixed format, then with a bit of Excel jiggery pokery you might be able to merge this information in to a csv file that you can import into whatever package you choose...but I imagine that would be a long shot.
