This does not answer the question you asked, but it may help at some point. I use MoneyWorks Cashbook, which is free. I started with it with a paid version, which I did not need in the end - Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, etc. (If you need more capability, you can pay for a more powerful version). We used it also on my wife's PC for her business and as far as I can recall, we have been able to read files across both systems. It is a New Zealand product, so fully capable of GST, HST etc. Early on, they provided my wife's accountant with a free version so she could work with the files - don't know if that still holds. I think they have the data transfer thing figured out, but you would have to confirm that - I haven't had to change in ten or fifteen years. I know it's a hassle to change, but this is much better than my admittedly years-ago experience with Quickbooks.
