Automation for Actinic: Transferring info. from Quickbooks to Actinic

If you are using Quickbooks and want to transfer information from Quickbooks to Acinic (e.g. product details, customer details) automatically you can use the following approach:

1 Create a batch file with the following information:

"C:\Program Files\MoleEnd\Automation for Actinic\V8\ME_TaskKiller.exe" -B -D 30 -P "Actinic Link for QuickBooks POS (Actinic to QuickBooks POS)"
@ping 99.0.0.2 -n 30 -w 1000>null
"C:\Program Files\Actinic v8\Catalog.exe" -q
start /B cmd /c "C:\Program Files\Actinic Link\QuickBooks POS\QBPOSToAct.exe"
"C:\Program Files\MoleEnd\Automation for Actinic\V8\ME_TaskKiller.exe" -B -D 30 -P "Actinic Link for QuickBooks POS (QuickBooks POS to Actinic)"

NOTE: You should replace V8 for your version of Actinic being used (e.g. V7).

An example name for the batch file is c:\temp\CSWQB.bat

2 In the Order Processing tab in the Automation for Actinic options enter the name of the batch file in the Run Program at End of Processing area (e.g. c:\temp\CSWQB.bat).
