The chart of accounts for the company in QB Pro 2004 is in need of being changed. I was wondering if there was a way to change the coa programatically as I assume that all the transactions in QB have a tag to specific accounts in the GL-COA.

Thank you.

The Chart of Accounts is represented in the Account table. Account names can be changed like this:

Update Account Set Name = 'Toms Retained Earnings' where Name = 'Retained Earnings'

Tom, thank you for the quick response to my question. 

Will there be any negative effect to the changes in the COA?  Do I need to go to other tables to make the changes to the referenceID and AccountName fields where the changed Account is referenced?

Thanks, Kevin.

No, the ListID remains the same (and you can't change a ListID). See: How do I change the Income Account for a Stock Item that has already has been invoiced? for further information on how to change the account used in a transaction.
