How to query some data out of a QuickBook(.qbw) file?

Situation

• I am new to the QuickBooks world.
• I have a .qbw file -> CompanyName.qbw
• It's a huge file that contain almost everything about my company.
• I want to query some data out of that file - NOT all , but some.:)

Let's say, I want to query only the inventory report.

• Within that inventory report, I only want 3 fields.

  1. product_id
  2. name
  3. availability

I've been looking for a tool out there everywhere, I could not find anything that will does exactly what I want.

Can someone get me start on this ? Can anybody at least point me to the right direction ?

I am not exactly sure, if what I am trying to do is possible.

Not a direct answer, but some direction as you requested:

The QOBDC driver available here (http://qodbc.com) should allow you to access your qbw file like a SQL database and perform queries against it. There is a free trial, but it looks like you'll need to pay $150-$500 to buy this driver if you find that it works and you want to use it long term.

As for querying a specific report like inventory, I don't know, but there are plenty of tutorials around in the form of blog posts and YouTube videos that should help you figure out how to use QODBC for your purpose.
