Hi,
I need a ODBC connection (a quickbooks file) to intereact with a SQL
database in VB.net. Is this possible? If so how do I do it? I want to
show a datagrid with results from my SQL database and part of a
quickbooks file.
Thanks in advance.

I don't believe Quickbooks offers a ODBC connection. They do expose an API
however.

Or, you could do an export from Quickbooks, and use that.
