Remote Data Entry

While I think you might be better off with a remote login (such as logmein.com) or Terminal Server, and a user account that has limited access. You could try a program like "Data Transfer Utility" to do what you suggest,

Or you could take a look at the Importer and Exporter offered by Baystate Consulting at:

The clerk would have to access the file remotely and be limited as to what she can see and do by the security features built into QuickBooks. If the security features in Pro 2007 are not flexible enough then upgrading to QuickBooks Enterprise or another program that has more security options is your next viable option.

As far as the export and import programs on the market, great for IT consultants migrating data from one program to another. Their use by some clerk, don't make me laugh. It just isn't going to happen.

Although not of help yet - there is a new product/service coming out that would enable web-access to your data file where you or a consultant could setup a custom form on the internet that would enable your remote person to enter all bill, invoices, etc. on the internet and have it automatically drop it into your QB data file...I'm on their beta team as soon as it get released - I'm itching to get my hands on it :) You can look at it at

Perhaps this'll help you

The web site looks great. I have this one entered in my OneNote QB notebook.

our site is interesting.

What I'm looking for is a way to access my accounting via wireless out in a truck. The crooks at QuickBooks wants $20 a month for this service that should cost NOTHING.

Your site has no pricing, what would something like this cost a small company such as mine? Rich

Certainly for a small insignificant company like yours the price would be nominal.

You can do this with a cell phone data plan and a remote access program like logmein.com

Speed is OK if you are in the fast service area but lousy if you are not.
