Just curious if there's an easy way.

A friend of mine asked...

He's got over 9000 records to move.

Im not a computer scientist so I thought I post here. . .

without more information on what the formats of each database are, I can't help.

are they text files with data?  what does quickbooks need for a format?  If it is just reordering text values into different columns, or adding commas, etc, excel can do it.

Look into comma separated values, kinda what mitt was talking about.  That can be imported into Excell, Access, and other common database & spreadsheet programs ~
