I've been using Quickbooks for about 10 to 12 years. Get the "upgrade" version every couple of years. Running "Pro 2002" now. I use the payroll section weekly, and have not had any problems. There are courses on it that show up in the mail, but I don't have any at the moment. Check the QB website, Intuit.Com.
Once you set it up, it's a piece of cake & does it all.
