ODBC type connection from Quickbase?

Question

Discussing with a colleague on how to get an ODBC-driver-like connection from Quickbase apps to other programs? I am asking for something that updates automatically on a regular basis (real time or almost), not requiring a batch upload and download of files. &nbsp;We have something like this for Salesforce to Quickbase today, but how about for other programs besides Salesforce? &nbsp;Is it built into Quickbase or do we need an add-on like QuNect? &nbsp;Just want to understand our options. &nbsp;

We've recently built a replacement for QuNect. &nbsp;We had a client that had QuNect running that took about 2 hours to process (a lot of records). &nbsp;We have it down to 5 min, and can keep almost live data to their enterprise system.

I think that everyone uses QnNect. &nbsp;There is no native generic Sync to OBCD databases. &nbsp;

Thanks, Mark (I think I remember that you are Mark?) &nbsp;My colleague has tested with the 30 day trial of QuNect and we may go that route. &nbsp;

Yes, I'm Mark. &nbsp;I hear that Claude at QuNect gives great support, especially if the person he is communicating with has some technical ability. &nbsp;Claude was one of the original founders / architects of OneBase which Intuit bought ~1999 and then it became QuickBase.

I use QuNect in excess and love it.&nbsp; What Mark has heard is correct.&nbsp; Support, while typically unnecessary, is excellent.&nbsp; I connect to SQLServer, MSAccess and Alpha5 using ODBC through QuNect.
