So, does "start a new company" (which I've not done yet) mean that one uses a whole separate set of database tables?  Will I be prompted for the COA files in the process?  Is there some sort of doc that tells HOW a COA is installed?  I understand all the technical side, but what are the steps with respect to the application and what are the implications...that's what's missing in my understanding.

Excuse my ignorant question.  I've got a working installation, with just the demo training company on it.  I'm the IT guy for small French company and I want to add a French Chart of Accounts.  I've downloaded the one from the site, but when I look at the file, it would appear that it's replacing THE ENTIRE DATABASE. 

Is this right?  does it squash everything (users, any customization we've already done, etc.)?

I've searched in forum to find a "how to" for installing a chart of accounts and have not found it.  There's undoubtedly a piece of info that it seems that most folks understand straight away, but I don't.  So any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
