    Can MS Access interface/communicate with QuickBooks?

    My wife and I have a home business selling shirts to schools. Right now, much of the data is still pen and paper. We're at the point where we are about to move all of our current orders to forms created with Access. The new forms include information about the customer, order quantity with sizes and colors and pricing. I've heard that Access can communicate with QuickBooks, but I don't see where it can be work as a seamless interface. Am I barking up the wrong tree?

    This is the beginning of my search, so I probably don't know what questions to ask. Also, I currently use QuickBooks 2005, but would be willing to upgrade if it meant that this would work.

    Quickbooks provides something called an ODBC (open data base connectivity) definition for QB. When you install that it provides a way for Access to link into the QB tables (files). I believe the "read only" version is free, but if you want to be able to update QB files the update version is something over $100.
