The content of the iif files is defined in Quickbooks help. Look for IIF
or Data import. It differs for each type of data you are transferring.
You will have to look in help to get the definitions. There is also info
on the subject and example files on the quickbooks web site.
www.quickbooks.com, I think. Search on IIF, and maybe the type of file
you want to create. 

<From memory, not tested> You can provide several different types of
data in a single file. The file needs to start with a definition of the
fields you are going to present. These definition lines start with !.
Each of your data lines must have the exact same fields in the order you
defined them in the ! lines. You don't have to provide all the possible
values, but some record types do have required fields that must be
provided, and filled in. 

Each record is a number of values with "\t" between them. The record
ends with "\r\n". You must use double quotes so the tabs (\t) and
Dos/Windows style line breaks {\r\n) are converted to the proper
character values. </from memory> 

Once you have reviewed Quickbooks help, and the web site, if you have
specific quesions on your file format, ask again. It is actually pretty
easy. The best way to verify your files during development is to open
them with a spreadsheet program. Also, you MUST backup the quickbooks
data before you try testing your upload. If it fails for any reason,
just restore, fix the problem and upload again. Don't feel bad if you do
this a couple dozen times before everything works.
