MAS90 4.4

By Paul Baker - Last updated: Monday, March 22, 2010

Well MAS90 4.4 is out (and it includes the new Crystal Reports – I’m a dork and love Crystal sorry).  MAS90 4.4 is a parallel install and while the process is MUCH cleaner than previous parallel installs, I still do not like it.  The old way was install on top of, convert the files, and [...]

So I do quite a bit of Accounting Information Systems work (AIS).  I always have to write a report that does this or that to comply with some governmental agency or to give the boss the information they want.  This is the strangest report I have ever written and I call it the Egg Report.  [...]
