Sorry to learn that you got taken by surprise. This is exactly how the hated login requirement was implemented, an update with no description, and no option to roll back unless you happened to have made a backup just prior to which you could restore. I for one will never allow an update to QB Desktop. While some things in accountind do change, payroll and tax stuff for example or the printing of the new 1099, the basics don't really change much over time. I'd type the new 1099 format by hand before updating QB to do it since one can never trust Intuit to disclose exactly what other changes might be included.
