Thank you!
Once I have the copy of the backed up company from my mother in law's account (assuming on a usb drive), I go to my own account and open the new, blank company.
I select "import data" from the gear icon. The only options to import are bits and pieces of the old comany like invoices, chart of accounts, or expenses. I don't see an option to import the entire old company and everything in it.
I have Quickbooks Advanced as does the old company on my mother in law's account that we are trying to move.
Thank you again for your help,
Kelly
