It'd be helpful if you explain why you dislike it so much (maybe). It's certainly worked well enough for us over the past 5 years or so. I don't love it, and I'd be open to something (significantly) better. > Some of the orgs here need to have a tight coupling of accounting and > fundraising.

Sure, but does this need to be done in a donor management system? Again, this sounds like an accounting system. It doesn't need to be Gnucash. Is there a really strong need to combine these two systems together? -dave /*============================================================ http://VegGuide.org http://blog.urth.org Your guide to all that's veg House Absolute(ly Pointless) ============================================================*/ _______________________________________________ software mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.flossfoundations.org/mailman/listinfo/foundations-software
