Our driver has different uses for different types of users. Many who come to our site think in terms of importing and exporting to QuickBooks, but our tool is for using live data in applications like Excel, Crystal Reports, Web Sites and Access.

Most end-users would prefer the read-only version because they want to create intelligent spreadsheets which update themselves from the latest numbers in QuickBooks each time you open them, with no more cutting, pasting or importing data. They can also create live Word mail merges and customized reports in Crystal or any other application they normally use.

Developers can use our read-write edition to build alternate systems for entering data, custom forms, time sheets, batch loaders and so forth.

Web developers have used our tools to create web forms where customer can see all of the latest financial reports and enter remote invoices, customer payments and time sheets from any web browser, including the new wireless web enabled cell phones.

QODBC is a universal tool, and hopefully this overview has given you some ideas as to what each of the versions of the product can be used for.
