Q: What is ODBC?
A: ODBC (Open DataBase Connectivity) is a specification designed by Microsoft to allow Windows applications to access multiple database systems through a single method with no regard for various file formats. SQL (Structured Query Language) is used as the method for accessing data through ODBC. Vendors of ODBC drivers (like this one) follow the specifications for ODBC so that any ODBC compliant application can access the data available through the driver.

Q: What is QODBC?
A: QODBC is an ODBC driver (DLL) for QuickBooks Accounting format files. QuickBooks Accounting stores it's data in it's own proprietary DBMS file format. This driver allows users of any ODBC compliant front-end application to read and write data contained in QuickBooks Accounting format files similarly to any other ODBC enabled database.

Q: What can I do with QODBC?
A: QODBC opens up the QuickBooks Accounting files created by thousands of custom programs to the new world of database connectivity. Microsoft Access or Visual Basic can be used to merge QuickBooks Accounting data with other data sources to produce complex reports, or to run mass file updates based on multiple criteria.

Q: What kind of learning curve is there for QODBC?
A: After quick installation of the driver, no training is required! This driver is transparent, requires no learning curve and works in exactly the same fashion of other ODBC drivers. Users of ODBC compliant front-end applications do not necessarily need to learn SQL language to access the QuickBooks database files. Many of these ODBC compliant applications simply present wizards enabling the user to create queries against the database.
