Accounting Express 2007 need to handle personal accounts

[smehaffie]

There was no Category for Accounting Express 2007, so I posted here.

Office Accounting Express 2007 is a great product, but it needs to support
both business and personal accounts. If this is not done, then there is no
reason for someone to use it over Quicken, Peachtree, etc. Most packaged
like these can be used to handle business and personal accounts. Why use
Accounting Express when you have to buy another product for you personal
accounts?

A simple example of this is the fact that a pay to on a check has to be
assigned as a Vendor, Customer or employee. Therefore, you cannot write
checks for a one time payment or to someone that does not fit into either of
those categories.

A more complex example would be to open a home or business. The home would
have accounts that would be more appropriate for a household budget and it
would allow a use to have all the appropriate functions that he busines used
has. Might also add a "Budgeting" system and a place to track how good the
user is doing following the set budget. Also a place to track personal
investements would also be good for the home option (Mutual funds, stocks,
401K), etc.
