Your timing is fortuitous - I happen to working on a bilateral adaptation 
of the trans_quickbooks file for a customer(adapt up to QB2000, adapt down 
to MV3.14!) and I may be able to help you.  The copy of trans_quickbooks 
which I got from the CVS a couple of weeks ago uses [item-field title] for 
the INVITEM field in the SPL (line item) records. It appears that if this 
evaluates to longer than appox 15 characters, or blank, Quickbooks 
crashes.  I would try finding this area in trans_quickbooks and replacing 
[item-field title] with [item-code], then delete the qb*.iif file, place 
the last order again, and try importing again.
