I booted up the old laptop and manually made entries to get the company file up to date.

I then exported to Quickbooks ONline and I am doing a trial version of that.

You may want to reconsider what is the company's goals and market demands.  I am standing here as a customer and you have been abusing me for past 12 hours.  Reading the reviews for Quickbooks Online tells me everything I need to know that it probably will not work for me.

I am traveling today but will be calling in to customer support to try to find a real solution to this terrible situation caused by Quickbooks.
