I have tried these steps!!  I am using the Accountant version for my clients.  I use Chrome.  I am on Windows 7.   I also have Internet Explorer 11.

I get to the Export Data page.  It defaults to the list of reports to export to Excel (Which I have done) but when I click the Moving To QuickBooks Desktop? option at the bottom, it tells me that I can only export data from within IE.  I try IE, no export to desktop option is available.  I research, QBO tells me that the ability to use IE with QBO has been discontinued since spring of 2019.  It's a vicious cycle.

I have a client who is possibly discontinuing her business.  No need to continue to pay QBO fees.  But we still need/want the historic data on QB Desktop to run reports.
