actually, the quickbooks timer program spits out timer files in IIF.  then QB can read 
them in. we've done some preliminary testing, and it looks quite possible.

Subject: RE: Quickbooks IIF File


We started on a project that was going to do something like this (right
before funding was cut and the team was sent on permanent vacation).  We
only found two  tools:

OfficeQ by DataBlox  http://www.datablox.com/
Linkbook ODBC Driver http://www.hcit.co.uk/LinkBook/

The ODBC driver was buggy at best, and we didn't have time to evaluate the
DataBlox offering.

The problem we found is that the makers of QuickBooks are for one reason or
another keeping their DB proprietary.  They've released just enough info to
allow the construction of a way to export data from IIF's, but to the best
of my knowledge you can't import to one.

I'm in a much happier place now (that also uses Quickbooks) and would love
for someone to tell me #1 I'm Wrong and #2 Here's how you do it.

Cheers!
