I was rather thinking that the perl program initiated by MV (e.g.
report.html) would format transaction data according to QB requirements
and write it directly into the QB database. Sales and address data would
then be available to QB for further processing. This would be kind of a
real-time (versus a db -> db) approach, since each transaction would be
immediately processed in report.html. If QB supports SQL, then MV can
write transaction data directly into QB's SQL db.
