QuickBooks Help

The technical assistance for QuickBooks from Intuit can get fairly expensive. A very handy free resource for answering all kinds of QuickBooks questions is this free users group. It is populated by users, as well as QuickBooks experts who are willing to answer questions, for free.

While browsing through the question boards, I came across someone who has addressed a very big shortcoming in the QuickBooks program, how to transfer data between QuickBooks files. This program does it by running a QuickBooks journal through Excel and converting it into the format that can be imported into another QuickBooks file. Why Intuit didn’t do this on their own escapes me; but I’m glad to see that an outside programmer has filled the gap. I can already see it as saving us a ton of time in merging company files for clients who set up separate QuickBooks files for different businesses instead of just using one file and using the Class function to separate the businesses.
