Mark,

I would scrap the idea of create an intermediary file (iif file) and use
QB's SDK to create a direct link. This avoids, creating a file (one more
thing your users could mess around with ...) and the need to have the user
perform import operations altogether.

The SDK comes with several examples and if you require further help, QB has
a decent forum. You could always contact me through my website (since this
newsgroup will soon be a thing of the past) and I'd be more than willing to
guide you as best I can. Be sure to download the SDK for the QB version you
are working with (2007...2010, US...CAN)!

I'm looking to pay for some consulting help from someone with knowledge of
Quickbooks and specifically
creating an iif file for importing data into Quickbooks.

I have software that is used for collecting donations and the user would
enter a batch of donation (say 20 donations) and then click a button in my
Access database to create an iif file which they could import into
Quickbooks.

Hoping to just get an hour or couple hours of help to figure out the exact
format needed of the iif file. I'm fine with doing the work to make the
file myself just looking for someone with some Quickbooks knowledge to
quickly get me there. I just purchased Quickbooks but have never used the
product.

If interested jump over to my web site and send me an email with your hourly
rate and provide a brief history of how you have used Quickbooks.

Thanks,
