[AccessD] QuickBooks Project... Anyone game?

Side tracking a little... We use QB for the company accounts, the lady
who does my books has torn it to pieces. She has found numerous flaws in
the program, in particular in relation to journal postings and VAT,
can't remember what exactly (as I have a very short attention span) but
don't be surprised if things don't always balance... I looked at
developing a few tools (data extracts and analysis) for it but didn't
bother starting once I realised Quickbooks couldn't even do a decent job
of it themselves... 

Sorry to be negative but I found it to be a very disappointing piece of
software, particularly in respect to data extracts, windows integration
and simple accounting practices...

Robert:

I looked at the QuickBooks SDK and gave up.  Used the two-step - export
from my app to their funky file format and import into QuickBooks.  You
can have the code if it helps.  But I think you're looking for the
seamless solution.
