Is there a way export ALL quick tables in ASCII format? (preferably tab delimiter)


Hope this doesn't sound rude, but what are "quick tables"?

Sorry, I meant all 'Quick Book' tables i.e. Invoices A/R etc. the export utility is very restrictive!

Yes, the export is pretty limited. You can try generating reports and then either print those to a tab delimited file or export them from the report screen to excel. That might get you what you need. Hope that helps. If not, I think there are some 3rd party reporting tools out on the internet that might suit your needs better. Hard to say without knowing exactly what you need to see.

There are tools that will export the data to another database. Synergration's AccessBooks, for example, will pull all the data out of your Quickbooks files and put it into SQL, Access, or mySQL. From there, it's quick work to get it into the format you need.
