The QODBC driver allows you to run built-in QuickBooks reports and display the results in programs like Crystal Reports and MS Excel. Although the speed of reports may not actually differ in our product from inside QuickBooks, it will not lock up QuickBooks while they are running. Our product can run multiple reports on your machine while you are performing other tasks in the QuickBooks application.
In fact you could completely automate the running of reports using a product like Crystal Reports overnight and have all of the reports ready in PDF, Word or printed form to be reviewed the next day.
In addition, QODBC also supports porting all of the QuickBooks data and reports into SQL Server using Data Transformation Services where the reports could be run on the copy of the data. A QODBC customer has been nice enough to make a document on how he used QODBC via MS SQL Server Data Transformation Services to import all of the tables into SQL Server.

See http://www.qodbc.com.au/helpdesk.asp?target=customer_balance_detail&sp_report_name_id=18 for all the sp_reports (stored procedure reports) you will be able to get including information about the columns and parameters for each report. |
