Quickbooks and LS

In the past, I have used a Java-COM bridge (called Jacob) to connect to QB and pass info back and forth via XML. Its worked great. Now, all of a sudden, whether it be outdated Jacob code, or updated QB code, a lot of the users who upgraded to QB 2007 are now dead in the water.

I want to get away from the Java-COM bridge for doing these transactions, and I feel like LotusScript is expansive enough to be able to make the connection to QB on its own.

There are tons of sample files for connecting to QB via VB, and since LS and VB share so many similarities, maybe it can be done?

I have tried a createobject(QBXMLRP2.RequestProcessor) which fails on initialization. I have also tried Declaring the QBXMLRP.DLL, but this fails as well.

Has anyone done anything similar, or coukd possibly point me in the right direction? I want to keep this native to Notes for simplicity and to save money. Buying 400 JIntegra licenses does not seem like the best idea.

Please let me know. Thanks
