Reply Reply OS X Filemaker 10 to Quickbooks Online, data sharing advice?

[Lev Leviev]

Hi,

I want to synchronize my Filemaker 10 contacts with my Quickbooks Online customer information. I've looked into Fmbooksconnector and Qodbc, and both require PCs, (which isn't an impossibility but would require my buying Filemaker for PC, correct?)

I know there might not be a perfect solution but can anyone advise me on the best course of action? XML? ODBC? Building a MySQL intermediate? Some elaborate AppleScript or Filemaker script?

Thanks,

L

Kudos!

You could use a PC: your FileMaker licence key will work on either platform.

However your licence only entitles you to use one copy at a time.

We have in the past joined QuickBooks to FileMaker using just plain text files - although it does require user interaction at the QuickBooks end.

Hi James,

Thanks for the response! Can you elaborate about joining using text? A little user interaction is preferable to rigging up a PC just for this function.

Yours,

Lev
