I would suggest posting your question direct to the QuickBooks newsgroup
(not Quicken).

There are a number of data transfer and synchronization tools that have been
referenced in a few threads. The ones by Karl Irvin come to mind. Here is
one link http://www.qbenews.com/L3/Bits/ImportTricks_0805.html

I have not had a need for data synch or transfer, so I could not comment on
which utility might suit your needs.
