Desperate for help with Great Plains 8.0 & MBS SB Financials

[number1rookie]

Hello, here is my scenario. I am new to a company, and this company has purchased Great Plains 8.0 and Small Business Financials through an MSDN package. This company wants to eventually use Great Plains to run their business. I have installed Great Plains (using SQL Server 2000) to get my feet wet. Everything so far has been fine. The test company is fine, and I added another company to toy around with as well. Well, yesterday I installed SB Financials 8.0 because, to my knowledge, we are going to need to use SBF to handle a banking issue. So, I installed SBF and when I started it up, I clicked on the "Open an existing company" tab, I could see the company that I had installed. I clicked on that company to open it, and I got this error:

FP: Bad component offset.form: 80wind: 1Fld:14

After that I click OK and then it reads:

Unhandled script exception:
Illegal address for field 'Account Number' in script 'Setup_Account_Format'. Script terminated

EXCEPTION_CLASS_SCRIPT_BAD_TYPE_CMD_COMPONENT

I am brand new to Great Plains and SBF. I am desperate to get this project off the ground but it seems that I cannot move any further until I figure this out. This is the only place I've found any information close to what I'm dealing with. Thank you in advance for any help I may receive. Please help. =(

A little strange that SBF would fulfill a need GP couldn't. Did you try to install SBF on the same computer as GP?

Yes, I have installed the program on the same computer as GP. As far as needing SBF for something GP couldn't provide. I believe it is a NACHA function to send information to banks that SBF is needed for. I may be wrong, I could lok into it deeper. My boss had informaed me that this the route we needed to take, but if you happen to know if GP can handle that function, that would be great. Again, I really appreciate the help. Thank you again.

Great Plains can handle electronic banking. Payroll Direct Deposit module is for payroll checks. EFT for Payables works for vendors.

Do you think you overwrote some of your files with your second install? It will be difficult to try to use two different programs for one company.

Well I don't think I overwrote any files. Everything else works fine except for SBF. However, if you say that GP can handle sending NACHA's to the banks then I probably won't need SBF. So do you know if I can create NACHA files and send to banks with GP?

Ok I found what I was looking for. Thanks so much. I really appreciate it. =D

Just a side note - neither Great Plains nor SBF that you get with MSDN is licensed for internal business use. It is for development and testing only.
