I didn't say my goal was a short-term goal. As long as we agree that the direction of Adagio is to make ACCPAC Plus unnecessary by incorporating it's best features, I can accept that it will take time.

I appreciate that Softrak is constantly adding new features "for no extra charge", but it is in Softrak's self-interest too, since it expands the potential market and gives users a reason to want to pay an annual upgrade fee. Most importantly, history has shown that unless a software developer devotes resources to make the software better, it has no future (e.g. ACCPAC Plus). I was just giving you some concrete examples of what "better" would mean (to me).

PS - You don't have to be SOOO defensive about Softrak's F6 lookup. It's darned good and beats ACCPAC's in many ways; it's just not a perfect replacement for ACCPAC's and as you say it probably never will be.
