Importing Orders Into QB 2008 Pro

Be careful here. If you import, and a name or item or account doesn't exist, QuickBooks will create it for you, sometimes with unintended consequences.

Create a backup of your data file, and test first. I have done this numerous times, and for the most part runs trouble free.

I agree with Gary E on IIF imports. If you are not careful you can create a real mess. I worked with a QuickBooks user this week that had imported their lists from Peachtree to QuickBooks. We spent a couple of hours cleaning up duplicate names that were created during the process that corrupted his company file.
