I am looking to build some reports for Quickbooks data, without using Quickbooks built-in reporting, or through a third party library (like QODBC).
Quickbooks 2008 and newer are built on a SQL backend.. In looking around there seems to be several products and angles to do this from.
Ideally I would like to be able to do direct SQL hits on the database myself, or use something like Crystal Reports.
I wanted to ask here to gather any things to look at closer, and what to potentially avoid to save myself grief.
Thanks in Advance!
Update: It seems Quickbooks encrypts it's sql database so you can't read it directly with a reporting tool.. There are a few products on the market that can help.. more to come.
