New user trying to import authorize.net reports

What is "authorize.net" and why do you think you should be able to import it into Quicken?

Authorize.net is online credit card processing. It has a download of reports that are in quick books format. Jeff

Quicken won't import anything designed to be specifically imported to Quickbooks.

I can't understand how you thought such an import would be possible.

Perhaps the OP was confusing Quickbooks with Quicken Home and Business (diffeent products!) not knowing/understanding that QHB is more of a souped-up Quicken rather than a dumbed-down QHB??

Actually, I am a new user to quicken, and from reading the overview of the product, I thought it was a product that would take care of our home finances, as well as our home based, small business. So, when I see that I can download quickbook reports from authorize.net, I assumed it could be imported into my quicken business software. I did not realize there was a difference between "iif" files and "qif" files. Quicken seems to do everything else I need it to do (having problems with tax tracking now), and have been relatively happy with it. I have written a program to translate the "iif" data, and reformat it as "qif" data so that I can now import the transactions. Interestingly, I was not able to find a iif to qif convertor anywhere, but lots of qif to iif convertors.

Thanks, Jeff
