It is *possible* to do this - it's not well-documented, but there used
to be a version of Intuit's Quickbooks API that would allow a user to
sign into a website and grant access to that user's LOCAL copy of
Quickbooks.

On the other hand, that solution required additional custom software
on the user's machine and was tricky to set up under the best of
circumstances. I'd recommend you think hard about *why* you're trying
to do such a thing before heading down that road...
