I appreciate you for pointing this out, abrowningcpa.

I'll be sharing the first out of six steps in exporting QuickBooks Online (QBO) data to QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

Let's set up the security settings in Internet Explorer.

Here's how:

1. Right-click the Internet Explorer icon.
2. Select Run as administrator.
3. Go to the Tools icon, then Internet Options.
4. Select Security, then Trusted sites.
5. Click Sites.
6. In the Add this website to the zone field, enter: *.intuit.com.
7. Make sure Require server verification (https: ) for all sites in this zone is unchecked.
8. Close the Trusted Sites window.
9. Make sure Enable Protected Mode is unchecked.
10. Select Apply, then Okay. Leave Internet Explorer open.

Once done, proceed with Step 2 in this article: Export your QuickBooks Online data to QuickBooks Desktop.

You will want to learn more about limitations when exporting data from QBO to QBDT, through these articles: Export limitations - QuickBooks Online to QuickBooks Desktop.

If you have more questions, just let me know. I'm always happy to help.
