Need Small Business Invoicing Application

I am desperately needing a invoice application for my small/medium business. Our old software is functional but i is way outdated. Believe it or not its a dos app. It is sorely lacking in decent reporting and is fragile if you try to remove very old data you will break the app.

We have a product based business. Need something simple and fast, with data files compatible with dbf or excel in case we need to change in the future. I have yet to find anything decent. Dont mention qbooks becuase its invoicing it really weak IMHO. We had various developers try and make a custom app for us and we have been burned three times.

Its not that we need something overpowering. The developers were just flaky and did not finish the work. Some of the apps I have seen online (canned apps) looks very poor in their interface and or operation. Of course we dont want to pay thousands of dollars for some high end biz app either. Maybe there is something out there that I have missed? We run approx 10-50 invoices per day. Appreciate any advice or ideas.

I know someone who has a similar need and they use some canned app called Macola? from these guys http://www.exactamerica.com/macola/progression.html its an older version, and they use crystal reports to generate the reports, it started out using excel for the back end but then switched to SQL and Pervassive SQL, its extremely stable and reliable, they've been using it for years (started on a Pentium 150 box in the mid 90s) and other than the occasional hardware upgrade over the years its been working fine. This may fit your needs, as the guy I know no longer has support I've got no clue what the current version or cost is like but it might be worth looking into I'm pretty sure they can customize it to your liking. (the guy I know is in rustproofing and anodizing industrial parts so has a gizallion parts w/ prices all in this system)
