The IIF file format has been deprecated by Intuit, and has all sorts of problems associated with it (it doesn’t update certain accounting information, bypasses data logic rules, etc.).
You’d be better off building an automated solution using the QuickBooks SDK or using the qbXML format to export XML files which can be exported via a simple SDK application into QuickBooks.
You should check out the QuickBooks SDK, Intuit Developer Forums, and my QuickBooks wiki for more details.
