In general the format looks OK but it's hard to tell because, as you noted, in your original post we can't see the tabs separating the fields. If there's a format problem it could be something as simple as a missing or misplaced tab character. The particular version of QuickBooks that you're using would make some difference, too, as to what fields QuickBooks expects.
Instead of trying to debug the format of your file here, for starters let me refer you to a paper I posted about this. It goes into some detail about the QuickBooks file format and might help you review what you're doing. You can find a link to it on my FoxPro Developers page at
http://www.prairienet.org/ita/foxpage.htm. Then you could post back here and let us know if the problem got solved or if there's still something wrong.
>Hi Rick,
>Thanks for the hand. I've resorted the list and I still see nothing when I open the register. Does the format seem correct? I can import the same transaction if I change "Accounts Receivable" to "Rent". Seems odd. In that case I can see the transaction in a report but the type is general journal. If I change "Rent" to "Bill" I see it in my transaction report as a deposit. I guess its a good thing I'm not an accountant :)
