Data Accessibility

QuickBooks appears to use a proprietary format for storing its data, and that documentation for this format is not available. It is not known whether anyone has succeeded in reverse-engineering the format to any degree.

The data engine is, however, accessible via ODBC using the QODBC driver. The driver is available for a fee (exact amount depends on usage; single-user license currently $150), with a limited-use 30-day free download.

• Exporting data:
  • Exporting reports to Microsoft Excel (QB 2005)
  • Exporting reports to Comma Separated Value (.csv) files (QB 2005)
• Data engine connection:
  • QODBC

QuickBooks apparently can also import/export the OFX open format for financial data exchange
