AccountingWeb is the UK's premier online resource for accountants in all walks of life. On behalf of their members they regularly commission reviews of relevant products. In June 2001 they asked long standing contributor Nigel Harris of West Country firm Burton Sweet to test drive Practical Excel 2000 for Accountants.   Nigel concluded:

"So are Courses on Disk CD-ROMs worth buying? Definitely. They represent outstanding value for money - the full package represents some 54 hours of training without the lost time and inconvenience of travelling to externally run courses. In fact, when you consider the number of times you might reuse each CD the purchase price seems downright trivial! They would be particularly useful for training new staff or managing the transition to Office 2000."
