Hello James: Pardon the intrusion Here but i am a interchange user and have 
strong pos knowledge as well.
Interchange is great but i don't think it will do what you want it to do 
without major reconstruction. I am going to suggest another cheesy windows 
based program for you to check out. I have used this for 10 years.
Take a look at www.microbiz.com. See below for features i know it can do.
