Greetings:

I'm a treasurer for a homeowners association and we have had an outside accountant keep track of our associations books.  

We have decided to take the books back into the association and I will be doing them.  Our accountant had the desktop version and used the backup function to create the backup file and sent that to me.  I subscribed to QuickBooks Online and found out quickly that I cannot open the backup file directly into QuickBooks Online.

Following community and other support, I downloaded the trial desktop version and was able to open the backup file.  The instructions for exporting to online requires me to go to company and select the option to export your company files to QuickBooks online, however, this option isn't shown in the menu list.  I updated the desktop trial then reset updates and updated again but the option to export still doesn't show.

Any help is appreciated...thanks in advance...John
