Re: [SL] importing csv files

[David R. <le...@re...>]

Quickbooks is pretty much a 'Hotel California' for transaction data. They go 
to great lengths to  prevent you from getting transaction data.
This of course helps the revenue stream because its easier to pay another $150 
this year and upgrade than to do anything else.

I have had a link in the past to a [non-free] package that can convert a QB 
database to Micro$oft Access and I used it once and was able to write a 
conversion for my specific needs. The problem was that on the next Quickbooks 
update, Intuit changed fhe format yet again, rendering the $100 converter 
useless.

I just googled and this sounds like the program that I used:

I seem to remember that the one I used had a free download that would show 
only the first 50 records in each table, so you could get an idea what 
your're getting into and if it will work with your data.

Good luck, and as always -- "your mileage may vary", "Solutions are guaranteed 
to work unless they don't", etc.
