I'm using Quickbooks premier 2006 and I want to export my sales orders
into and xml file so I can upload them to my warehouse so they can ship
out all of my orders. I can't seem to find out how to do this. Can
any of you help? I checked out intuit's site and can't find how to do
it.
Thanks.

QB doesn't export to XML directly. It can export reports to Excel
or CSV format.

The QB SDK uses XML as it's communication and data format,
but I doubt the raw QBXML format would conform to the one
your warehouse needs.

My best guess is that you will need some custom software to
convert either a CVS export, or an SDK output, to the XML
format your warehouse needs.

The forums at http://developer.intuit.com/ are a good place to
start. Either for help implementing it, or finding a consultant to
do it for you. And of course get an XML specification from
your warehouse first.
