You have been very vague and still not answered the question....

How can we as users continue to "Read Only" off-line our original data going back to 2009 using our PC when not plugged into the internet... we all need to be able to see and read everything that has occured over the last few years of using this prograqm... we have all spent thouhsands of pounds with Intuit and are not getting any answers.. all I want to do is to ensure (as a Companies House & HMRC requirement) that I can read my accounts data and reporting in full all the way back to the begining when we originally had the disc versions.. we all have personal back-ups, we just need to read it...  I understand you wont be supporting us and we will have to problem solve ourselves, but you cannot just remove the ability for us to read our own  historical inforation we have saved for accounts perposes over the many years.. HMRC says we have to keep readable records for at leat 7 years.. What your doing is preventing that and surely that is illegal...
