A business associate of mind was informed that Peachtree would do a better job than Quickbooks. Is that true? What other packages should a small business with a computer network of 5 to 10 users consider?
Thanks.

Access Accounts is good
Access is a good prodcuct for this sort of business and there is an upgrade path from 1 user to 200 users without too much difficulty as you grow.
Look at www.hoge100.co.uk - accredited dealer in Midlands.
TRY TAS
Why not try TAS books and payroll software?
TAS Books 1 starts at £99.00 for a small company and TAS Books 2 £199 - £399, whilst TAS Books 3 with SOP, multi user cots up to £1199.
The TAS Payroll is priced from £99 depending on the number of employees.
It is as easy to use as Sage, but the reporting is far better.
Look at their website too on www.tassoftware.com

What sort of inventory is it?
Lawrence,
You say you are finding Inventory Management difficult. What sort of inventory are we talking about? What is the business?
The type of business will determine the future direction of your software problem resolution.
Take a look at AccountView
As a re-seller of AccountView Business Software, I suggest you take a look at http://www.accountview.co.uk/ or http://www.rcl-systems.co.uk/
From the brief details you gave, AccountView appears to be a suitable choice.
Multi-user from 2-250 concurrent users. Mutli-company. Multi-currency. Nominal, Sales and Purchase Ledgers. Financial reports.
Sales Order Processing, Purchase Order Processing, Stock Control, multiple warehouses and bin locations.
Please use the Contact page on the RCL web site to request a demo of the product, should you so desire.

More info
Lawrence,
Some extra info
1 where are you based ?
you mentioned 'Peachtree', which I thought was a US product owned by Sage. If so, then there are a number of quite good US 'what software to use' url's that a simple seach of google would point to. If you are based in the UK, then there are probably 4-5 packages that would do the job
2 what are your key processes
what pieces of 'inventory' functionality do you need......multi location, multi bin, batch, serial, mutliple suplier prices, multiple customer prices, unlimited history, Intrastat, SOP, POP, etc, etc
3 number of transactions
you mention 5-10 users. A lot of small end packages offer 'multi user' as the next step up from 'single user'. However, it is often backed up with single user databases, so you'll get data corruptions once you put pressure on the package. Pastel (for example, available in the US and UK) has an SQL version, so understands 'multi user' means an identified number of concurrent users
4 price range
1K, 5K, 10K, 50K.........horses for courses, but in the end businesses watch the bottom line
