Wait a minute - aren't there prepackaged VB6 samples for the customer
and invoice creation modules in the QB SDK?  That would explain the
seamlessness of those tow particular operations.  ;)

What do you need to be able to do with QB that you can't do now? 
That is to say, what is the intended scope of this QuickBooks project?
