I looked around the Intuit site, but didn't find any kind of formal specification for IIF. (I use QuickBooks 6.0 for Windows.) I have looked through the IIF files that QB produced from my data and found that it is basically a tab delimited file similar to what would be read or written by a spreadsheet program.

I spent some time looking at the export capabilities for QB6 and found basically the same thing. Since the IIF format itself appears to be nothing more than a simplified spreadsheet, it might be possible to build the IIF importer (and provide sufficient documentation) such that it would allow a user to "print" a transaction report to a file in tab delimited form.
