John:
I am not sure this answers your question. I am an accountant by profession and
education, before loosing my sight. Quicken is a simpler form of financial data
input and reporting, it may be quite adequate for some small businesses but
QuickBooks is the full blown accounting package. I think data entered in
Quicken can be imported into QuickBooks.

Subject: Scripting quicken and quickbooks
About 4 years ago I had some experience with quickbooks. Can't remember much
about it though. Do these programs work hand in hand or is it one or the other?
I would need to get the programs as I do not have them. Perhaps we can get
these programs funded by one of the blind organizations. My wife offered to
help me with this because I'm sure there are a lot of visual elements to this.
She said she would learn quickbooks if this is what we are all interested in.
We're not all decided yet, but considering that there isn't a choice for
financial and business run programs it definately puts this into an important
category.
One thing to note is that these programs change quite frequently. I am
wondering about other scripters if they want to work with a joint effort on
this and make the source open because of the frequent changes made to this
program. I can't just hide the source on this one because that would be unfair.
On another note, it makes it much harder to coordinate work efforts and
multiple sources could impact its future use.
Does quickbooks come with some element of financial management like quicken?
Is there one program that focuses more on what we want?
