QuickBooks® Starter Guide

Imagine using a straw to drink juice from a glass.

A simple act, but a good way to help you understand how QuickBooks® work. 3 things here...
  1. Straw
  2. Juice
  3. Glass

Let's examine how they interact.

The straw is like your QuickBooks® software while the juice, your data file. Both are separate but inter-dependent. Here's how...

After you've installed your software, you need to use QuickBooks® to create a data file (which is a *.QBW file). Now, this data file is just a file on its own, like any ordinary spreadsheet file (e.g., *.xlsx) or document file (e.g., *docx, *txt).

But in order to read and write on a QBW data file, you need to use QuickBooks® (program).

As QuickBooks® data file is a file on its own, you need to store it somewhere. The file location is therefore just a folder where you save the file in, just like a glass to hold your juice.

  • Installing QuickBooks®
