Hi Folks,
QuickBooks does not give up its data graciously, but it will export many things
as an IIF -- "Intuit Interchange File", which is almost like a "CSV", except
with "tab" instead of "comma". I can replace the "tab" with ";" and I'm good to
go. Almost. The first line is a header to identify the fields of the subsequent
lines in the file. GNC does not understand IIF, but does understand CSV, and
IIF is just a specialized CSV. Since one of the things I can get from
QuickBooks is a chart of accounts with current balance, I have a place to
start, but I need to understand more than I do.
How do I map the existing "column" headers in the erstwhile IIF to columns that
GNC understands? How do I know what that mapping is? I can't just assert an
account balance; there has to be a complimentary entry to "Equity:Opening
Balance", so how does that happen?
I'm almost ready to light this candle.
Thanks for the help,

Chris.
