Greetings ChiralLogic,
First and foremost, I want you to know that your voice matters and I completely agree with what you've said. There should be a more seamless way to move the data from one QuickBooks version to another.
This isn't the impression that I'd like for you to be left with. The updates and changes to QuickBooks are largely the results of feedback provided by users, just like yourself. That said, I'm making it my top priority that your feedback reaches our Product Development Team and make them understand the urgency of this matter. After all, enhancements and improvements to QuickBooks functionalities are largely the results of feedback provided by users.
Lastly, I appreciate you giving the trial version of QuickBooks Desktop a shot. Please touch base with me here in the Community if there's any way I can help with your success. I'll be here to help you out!
