UK version of MOA needs quickbooks wizard to migrate data easily.

We've been with Intuit since the mid 1990s but recent years their sales
tactics (forcing customers to buy the latest supported version and no option
to pay for payroll yearly any more, now the price has nearly trebled and is
on a monthly debit) otherwise payroll and tax tables will not be supported.
So looking around, Sage is the same and MS Office Accounting Professional
2009 seemed to fit the bill with reasonable pricing and data migration from
quickbooks as an option. However, when I come to test the software I find
that the UK version of MOA doesn't have this facility so all accounts have to
be manually transfered via Excel.

On such a large system this may well be very problematic so I'm wondering
how anyone else who had this problem managed? Is there any fool-proof way of
transferring data other than individual reports exported to excel?

You might get a more formative response by posting to the uk moa group;
microsoft.public.uk.moa

PS the moa payroll facility is supplied by an external party, the actual
paye calculations are processed on line (No data is retained, on line) the
actual data is then 'imported' into moa as part of the process. So no actual
tables are held within moa. MS doesnt appear, from looking at payroll
queries in the moa group, to actually support/provide resolutions to any
paye queries, and contacting the third party seems problomatic
