The answer is Yes and No.
Yes, if you create the Quicken (IIF) file yourself using an R:base report structure. Quicken has some help file that will get you started on the road to producing an IIF file with R:base. Basically Quicken has Account categories and classes within categories. You have record headers separated with <tab> character Ascii 9, then the records themselves also seperated with a <tab> character. Always place two <tab>s between records.
We have been creating the IIF files with rbase for 5 years now and it works perfectly (until quicken changes its data format)
The no answer is because I am not aware of any to select (IIF) format output from R:base and have it create the data file without programmer participation. If you have been an R:baser for 2-3 years+ this should be no problem.

A client ask a question from his accountant that I don't understand.
In a R:Base database, is data formatted to conform to IIF standards?
He wants to know the answer to this before he makes a decision to change their accounting software to Quick Books.
