Re: Blech Support
We're needing to open some Peachtree files in some other accounting system, in either Linux or OS X. Any recommendations?
Hmm. I don't know of other accounting aps in those OS's that open Peachtree files.
I do know that Peachtree uses a Btrieve engine to read/write its data - maybe check with Pervasive to see if there is a Btrieve engine for Linux or OS X. But, sadly, its probably not as easy as using another Btrieve engine on another OS and opening the data file, but hey, who knows...even if this worked some coding would probably be necessary to drive the Btreive engine and then import to another accounting app...
Oh yeah, there is also a $400 COM interface that can read the Peachtree Btrieve data file, I think the people behind it have a way to export from Peachtree into Access. Maybe it can be done in multiple steps. This might be more effective than the 1st option above, but still requires some coding. I think the object is called Pawcom. A Google search will probably find it.
(sorry for the ramblin' answer!)
