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.
