I was thinking of doing a campaign on one of those 'fund a great idea websites' to reverse engineer the .qbw format into a GPL Linux command line tool like mdb-tables call it qbw-tables. Then ledgersmb could call it as an export / import function.
It seems to have been reverse engineered for $510? http://www.freelancer.com/projects/PHP-C-Programming/QuickBooks-QBW-reverse-engineering.html Inuit also offers a number of developer tools: https://developer.intuit.com/docs/0025_quickbooksapi/0055_devkits Cheers Turtle > Hi Developers, > > I'd asked this question on the users list, but didn't get much of a > response.
