Does anyone know if it is possible to create the General Journal Entry file on a Windows QB Version and have someone with a MAC QB Version import the file? 

I have a restored company file on my Windows Desktop QB version and want to send Journal Entries for the client to import on their MAC Desktop QB version. 

Thanks

      Thank you very much.  I like being able to send the journal entries to clients and use it all the time, I just wasn't sure if it would work between to two different operating systems.  We'll give it a shot!  Thank you for taking time to respond.
