Christopher, At this point (just starting), I am able to create a new customer, and a invoice completely within my program. Now, QuickBooks has too be open, (I think I maybe able to use their QuickBooks Remote Data Sharing Client with QuickBooks Remote Data Sharing Server to get around this but I'm not sure) to interact with the data. Outside of that it's seamless.

Anyone game? Mine are too. The trick is, how seamless can it be made? The last time I looked at the SDK and the documentation, it appeared to me that part of the non-seamlessness was baked in to QB itself. -C- ---- Original Message ---- From: Subscriptions at servicexp.com To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com, Subject: RE: [AccessD] QuickBooks Project...
