Oops, forgot to say that the version I installed was Premier Accountant.
The file size jumped 5mb.

What, no mention of the all new accountants' copy feature? This one
breakthrough advance for many is worth the upgrade. How about the new way
the program automacally fills in general ledger accounts. This feature also
makes the upgrade worth while. Why wouldn't you expect the file size to
increase. Added functionality often requires a little more wiggle room.

As I said, I haven't had an opportunity to actually work with the version
yet, just peek around inside a few test-upgraded company files.

Which breakthrough advances in the Acct's copy are you speaking of? The
importation of accountant's changes with notes, better detail in audit
trail?

As for the autofill of GL accounts with vendor's I haven't used it. How is
this different from auto-recalling the last transaction for that vendor? I
selected to keep that preference since most of the vendors in the company
file I upgraded have Items assigned to their bills.

Since you've used the features enough to say they're worth the upgrade then
why not elaborate on them?

The new features are so well documented that it seems a waste of my time but
here goes.

The accountant's copy feature is now on steriods. Prior to 2007 the
accountant was quite limited in what he/she could actually do with the
file. Now major modifications can be made (not just journal entries) and
have it all sync back to the client all the while notifiying the client
exactly what changes were made and asking for their approval to make the
changes.

Auto-recalling the last transaction sometimes leads to posting to the wrong
account over and over again. There are situations where an odd transaction
requires a change in the account that usually gets posted to. Prior versions
remembered this odd coding and recalled it for the next transaction. Many
end users just except this new coding and contiue to use it. Version 2007 is
intelligent enough to avoid this common error.

Don't get me started on the upgraded financial statement designer. I love
it. My biggest complait about the module has been answered. Now when the
chart of accounts has been modified the financial statement designer tells
the user that the statement you want to print does not refect the change and
can help you rectify the problem.

Let me correct myself. I just noticed that it is not working the way I
thought it would work. If you consistently code a vendor to rent and then
happen to code it to repairs and maintenance for one transaction the program
stops entering a general ledger code. Not very intelligent.
