Message #95626
John, Thanks for your comments and questions. In the future, please try and put each different question in it's own message. It's difficult for any one person to handle all your questions in one response, and keep a thread that makes sense. Thanks. Tim @Intuit

John, I'm sending out demo's of just such a tool would you like a copy ? Steve
Thanks for the alternative path to this document. Do you know of any third-party tools for massaging IIF data? Do many customers ask for enhancements that mighe be better served with external tools? (I'm a fellow software developer, and I'm always looking for new ideas. 🙂 For example, I've made…
John, Thanks for pointing that out. I will forward the details to the engineers for their review. You can access information about IIF files with the following: Click on the Help icon, then click on "QB Printing, file operations, preferences", then click on "Transferring data" — the screen that will…

Fine alignment, from what I remember, is good for only 0.25". My printer is off by 0.5" or more.
