Hey KL

Unfortunately I found that if I hadn't been online for several days, (I live off grid and don't always need to be online to do my work) QB wouldn't even let me access my file without getting online to verify my subscription. I think that they have us over a barrel and are just interested in (MONEY) holding us hostage for their program to open our data. Even if you back everything up, you still have to manually look through the excel or pdf's to find what you are looking for. I can't believe they won't make our files read only once our subscription expires and at least allow us to look at our own data. IF YOU HAVE THE DESKTOP VERSION AND QUIT PAYING YOUR SUBSCRIPTION FEE, YOU CAN MAKE QB THINK IT IS STILL HAS A SUBSCRIPTION. MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE OFFLINE AND RESET THE DATE ON YOUR COMPUTER TO BEFORE YOUR SUBSCRIPTION EXPIRED. THEN OPEN QB AND LOOK AT OR ADD OR DELETE WHATEVER YOU WANT AND THEN SAVE IT. IF YOU OPEN IT AGAIN USE THE SAME DATE. MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE OFFLINE ANYTIME THAT QB IS OPEN. GOOD LUCK!
