QuickBooks Database Online? - 8/19/2009 11:27:46 PM

Hi,.

I would like to set up a new site and have all the items organized into categories and then have a generic page pulled up for every item and have it automatically filled in with information from a database design.

What I want to know is if I can use my QuickBooks database which is already complete and either automatically update online (which I know would be more complicated) or more preferably have it so I can upload a new database when I chose.

I also need this to pull a corresponding photo of the item for the page if possible. Would I need an intermediate database where I combine the item and such with the picture?

I use QuickBooks Premier 2006 and Dreamweaver CS3 and am relatively new to both. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!!!

Jess

I don't know how to tie in your QUICKEN/QuickBooks database. That is not a web standard.
Chances are, you will have to have a sql database on your website and code to use that database. you can probably export existing info and import to new database in some manner. Your web HOST may offer specific choices that are pre-loaded on your own server for faster implementation.

Even if you are only displaying content, not selling, you may consider a shopping cart software to do that for you. See what your host offers for shopping carts. I like ZenCart. It's free, quite popular and very versatile. You can disable the LOGIN features so all users can view your photos and other content using a database to lookup/display. Search is built-in. And if you want to actually sell products you can turn on those options too. Other people keep the script up to date, you keep the content up to date.

You can try out some free Open Source software on this site to see how they feel before you implement one of them.
