Tim,

Is this for 3.0 also or just 4.0? The subject line says 3.0 and 4.0 but
your message says for 4.0. Just checking since we are on 3.0 and wondering
what the best option was to deal with this.

Thanks,
Rick

I spoke with Epicor before, and well so we pay a lot of cash for support and
do not get anything in return. Yes microsoft is discontinuing their suooprt
of Win95 and Win98, but do you pay thousands of dollars to them everyyear
for "support"

The solution Epicor came up with was set up 5.x on a test server, copy d-base
over to test server, run them, and be done with it. Semi-OK solution I feel.
It still requires a NT computer, time to set-up, etc......

Solution our controller came up with........ Does anyone make a W2 program.
PLug in Key info, out spits the 2001 W2's. simple, cheap, and quick. If it
was $200.00 it still would be cheaper than my hourly rate to go through
solution #1

With that said what is anyone's input to this suggestion, and also what is
the Minimum system requirements for a server, and work stations. I have a
feeling this is going to cost us a whole lot of $$ to upgrade

There is a company that has a W2/1099 program which costs $49.00 plus forms
from ATX. Wep Address is atxinc.com. 1-800 944-8883. We have been using
this program for our 1099's for three years now. Very easy to use.

The Vantage Custom Programming group has agreed to undertake a project to
retro-fit the W2 changes into Vantage 4.00. This mod will be completed by
the end of the first week of January and will be offered at a nominal fee of
$150.00. Anyone interested in this mod should email Custom Programming at
custprog@....

On a related note, the changes released in 5.00.335 and 5.10.111 were for
changes to the printed version of the W2 forms only. The changes in the
magnetic media requirements will be released in the next 5.00 and 5.10
patches which are currently targeted for release at the end of this week. I
found the following link on the SSA's website informative as to the changes
in the new format.
