This is exactly what I was referring to. If you make a local copy of company file, and create an accountant's copy from it, only the local file has the divide date designated. The company file on server, which is the one you eventually want to integrate with accountant's changes, does not have the accountant's restrictions on it. That leads to a couple more questions.

1. Can you still integrate accountant's changes to server based company file despite there being no divide date designated (and thus no restrictions)?

2. Will the changes file recognize if changes were made to server file that affect the integrations from accountant's change file, and alert you to them?

3. Of course, it would be much simpler if you could just create the accountant's copy directly from the server company file, which is how this is supposed to work.

FYI, I have updated server, workstation, and QuickBooks, to no avail.
