Hi Larry,

What kind of problems are you having? The top qb guru in the country seems to be Mike Block (http://www.blocktax.com). In his web site I found the names of two newsgroups that might be interesting for you:

"The main QB newsgroup is alt.comp.software.financial.quickbooks. alt.accounting and biz.comp.accounting (moderated) have many QB posts."

I've used the iif format in the past (and still do), without problems (I use it for importing checks into one of the checking accounts.

Another option you might want to explore is using wsh with qbooks. I've gotten away making it do fancy things by opening a qbooks window and feeding it keystrokes via wsh.

I think that qb2003 has an xml interface, which should be way easier to use than the cryptic-trial-and-error-based iif method, however, in the past I've managed to import transactions into qbooks using iif by very carefully reading the help files and qbooks web site, which has sample iif files.

Good luck!

Alex
