Manage updates with the Download AppCNET Editors' review
TopSales Basic lets you manage of all your company's important information from one place. It has many features businesses will find useful. There's a contacts database, a calendar, and a to-do list function. You can also generate invoices and manage your company's bank account with TopSales Basic. It will generate mailing lists and all manner of reports such as Balance Sheets, Sales Analysis, Inventory Control, and other accounting, customer, and product-based data reports.
TopSales Basic's interface is basic, befitting the name, but it gets the job done. The menus are easy to navigate. You can input data from QuickBooks and export data as Excel files, text files, or VCards. Overall, we were impressed with TopSales Basic's features, but it was not without glitches. Presumably you can print files and reports. Under the File menu there is an option for "Printer Setup," but when we clicked on it, nothing happened. There is a Help tab that apparently links to a Web page, but when we clicked on it, an error message said we weren't connected to the Internet. However, there was nothing wrong with our connection, and we were able to access other Web pages with no problems.
This is a 30-day trial version of the software. It installs with no problems, but when we uninstalled it, a 25KB folder was left in our Program Files. Issues with the online Help feature aside, this is an easy-to-use program with a lot of built-in functions that would suit the needs of a small business.

"NOT FREE AS ADVERTISED"

"Poor installation, and can't get it to run"
Version: TopSales Basic 6.70
Pros
Not applicable
Cons
Please see below
Summary
My installation experience:
-In the process of installing, it put up a warning box about a "user record" problem with no explanation of what that meant.
-The program installed to my C drive (instead of my Program Files folder) without creating a desktop shortcut or adding itself to the Programs menu, so I had to go hunting just to open the program.
-When it ran, it gave me an empty database box and asked for a user and password. The defaults were provided. But when I entered the default password, it gave me an "Invalid password" box.
-I tried entering it in all caps as shown, and in no caps, to no avail.
-Since no default database had been created, I clicked "Insert" to see if I needed to create one, but got an "Invalid ID" box.
-I gave up and deleted the program files. -
"Free 30 day trial does not equal free"
Version: TopSales Basic 6.60
Pros
I can't think of any benefits when the basic premise to hook you into using their software is fraudulent.
Cons
This is not free, it's a 30 day trial.

It seems fairly friendly on initial operation. I'll have to write a follow-up after use. However it looks similar to ACT!

Starting the program. I had to go to the company website/FAQ to find out, in order to start the program, the password is the same as the id, "user".
