So what about us who are opening accountant's copies? I couldn't get into the file because I did not have the clients' intuit login, which I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO HAVE! I had to disable my computer's internet to get around that one.  I tried MY login and NOPE.  I have yet to login to a single company file.  I just click on CLOSE and in MOST cases, it lets me in.  I told my clients to NEVER LOGIN to that.  If it's going to be mandated to login to an online account for a desktop product, why doesn't QuickBooks just END desktop versions so we can go and find a solution elsewhere?  I LIKE QUICKBOOKS DESKTOP.  I find it helpful but this DEMAND that we login - NO.  NOT GONNA HAPPEN.  Clients DO NOT LIKE IT.  WE accountants DO NOT LIKE IT.   That is what needs to be told to the management or higher ups who implemented this.
