Ted,
I just called them, and after I finally got the sales person to be quiet
long enough to listen to me, she confirmed that you can have two
single-license packages connect to the same database, BUT you must be using
Peachtree **Premium** Accounting and not just the low-end Peachtree
Accounting package.
Thank you for that tip!
