My wife has a small business. I am looking to set it up in Quicken along
with our home accounts. What book(s) or websites would be recommended to
enlighten me on how to do this?

Thanks
Mike

The best comes with Quicken ---
Use the HELP button and all of its features
If you can't find it in the table of contents, use the index and/or search.

I suggest you set up two (2) files - 1 for home and 1 for business
Your home account s/b on a cash basis
Your business account s/b on an accrual basis

... and last but not least ---
Practice make perfect (almost!)
If everything else fail, read the instructions (HELP)
Good luck,
Jim

I don't agree with your advice about 2 separate Quicken Files. I have my own
business setup as a Sole Proprietorship and use only 1 file. When you first
setup the business, you can choose either cash or accrual. Having 1 file
keeps things much simpler.

Help is also available at the Quicken Forums.

Using 1 file (set) is an option.
Each user must decide what is best in their situation.

Do you advise doing above even with Q2006 Home and
Business versions..... I.e. have tow sep
files/databases?

Does the H7B version keep everything in database and
that's not good idea?
