Well you can probably ignore my info. A shallow dive into the QB forum on IIF header formats shows that those samples are more than a decade old and one frustrated user says he cannot even import an IIF file that was Exported from QB. The culprit in his example is that the column description character length is inaccurate so the import fails, further on that example site, QB states they won't provide any support help for the import or export of said IIF files. > > > > On Friday, January 17, 2020 at 4:30:05 PM UTC-5, Karen Tellef wrote: >> >> Going out on a limb here....
