Well isn't that interesting, Mike! Here's the information page:
http://qodbc.com/qodbcOnline.htm
Here's some quotes from it. They mention reading the data alot (which I
wouldn't need) but one reference to being able to "write data". I'm going to
ignore the fact that they misuse the word " it's "
QODBC is an ODBC driver (DLL) for QuickBooks Online
Accounting format files. QuickBooks Online Accounting stores it's data in it's
own proprietary file format in the cloud. This driver allows users of
any ODBC compliant front end PC application to read and write data
contained in QuickBooks Accounting format files similarly to any other
ODBC enabled database and the same as our product for Desktop
QuickBooks.
QODBC works by accepting SQL commands from applications through the
ODBC interface, then converting those calls to navigational XML
commands to the QuickBooks Online Accounting system and returning
record sets that qualify for the query results. This driver is not a
Client/Server product, but rather communicates directly with the
QuickBooks Online web site as it runs. QuickBooks Online is a flat file
database, and this driver will not change it into a relational
database, so keep that in mind when developing with this driver.
QODBC acts as a 'wrapper' around the Intuit SDK so customers can
finally get at their QuickBooks Online data using standard
database tools; speeding development time.

I didn't look at the under the cover nuances of this ODBC driver for
Quickbooks, but maybe it's something..

It's been decades since I've had to deal with Quickbooks, and it wasn't exactly
a joy back then...
Someone just asked me about sending stuff from RBase into Quickbooks (they do
not own QB yet, so it would be a new version of the software).
Has anyone here used a new version of QB and let me know if it's easier
nowadays to send data to QB? For example, what kind of formats does it accept
as an import? Any gotchas? We'd probably be sending over lists of "members"
(name, address, etc), and different kinds of revenues received (member fees,
special fees, event fees)
Thanks for any insight!
Karen
