Changes to .SetOptions API call:

Fixed appname argument to SetOptions so character case is retained. Previously, it was being converted to lower case.

Added the following arguments to SetOptions with ...
filemode=singleuser, multiuser, or donotcare
conntype=unknown, localqbd, remoteqbd, localqbdlaunchui, or remoteqboe
unattendedmode=required, optional
persdatamode=required, optional, or notneeded

Changed internal calls to QBXML so data access is always requested as read only.

Changes to .ReadFile API call:

Added argument qqtfile= to specify specific path and name of .QQT file to create if different than default

Added symbol QB_RS_SalesRep to OfficeQ6's COM API - which had been inadvertently omitted.

Added field sEntityType to record type SalesRep. It contains one of: Employee, Vendor, or OtherName - depending on the type of entity that sales rep represents.

Added flag X to field sFlags of record type TranDoc. Used to indicate that the set sum of the mAmount fields of all TranLines comprising that TranDoc are out of balance. (Note that only mAmount fields are summed where that TranLine also has a non null kAcct field). This condition is extremely rare, but adding the flag helps isolate where and why it occurs (typically file corruption).

from version 20.0.0.0 to 20.1.2.0 (released 3/11/2010)

Added F flag to record type TranDoc field sFlags. Used by transaction types CustChrg, CustInvc, VendBill to indicate that the document has been paid in full.

Enhanced .QQT file export to include new record types.

from version 19.2.0.0 to 20.0.0.0 (released 12/20/2009)

Added support for all U. S. QuickBooks 2010 versions

Added support for all Canadian QuickBooks 2009 and 2010 versions

Added support for multiple currencies. This was a major addition, including significant code so home currency amounts will appear identical to single currency files.

Added support for units of measure.

Added support for billing rates.

Added major feature to export data from a computer running QuickBooks to a .QQT file. The file can then be moved to a different computer, such as a network server, for processing. This allows many processing options that were not previously available and provides easy access to private data - such as payroll records.

Added the following options to the Diag function to help assess state of QuickBooks before opening a file:

qbw32_query - count of QuickBooks processes running

qbw32_stop - if one or more QuickBooks processes are running, stops a single QuickBooks process and returns the number of QuickBooks processes running afterwards. If no QuickBooks processes are running, returns -1.

-------------------- new with version 16.7.0.0 (released 7/21/2006)

Payroll information has been added.

Specifically, additional fields have been added for transaction types Paycheck (Paycheck), LiabPymt (PayrollLiabilityCheck), LiaAdjst (LiabilityAdjustment), and YtdAdjst (YTDAdjustment). Fields have been added for payroll items, "unit prices" for payroll items, wage bases, classes, etc.

Field kEntity2 has been added to all TranLine, except the main (bDocMain, nLine=0) TranLine. This is for compatability with earlier versions of OfficeQ. It represents the main entity (Customer, Vendor, Employee, or OtherName) for the transaction. In many cases, it is redundant (same as field kEntity), however this decreases the number of changes needed for code calling the API.

There is also some performance improvement (about 30% decrease in ReadFile time) and a few non-payroll fields fixed.
